To say it's love would be too simple Too obvious It's more like a calling, a vocation Something I was Put on this earth to do Now I'm shooting with the stars And I'm flying with the angels And my heartbeat is a symphony the Closer I get to you I never saw you comin' till you Came and here you are I never thought someone Would ever dare To come this far You're up for the resistance And I'm strong in my persistence And I've never known A remedy like ours If I can't have you If I can't have you I would be a river dried up Into dust I would be imprisoned For ever having loved If I can't have you I don't wanna be me Then I would be the same man You scraped off the ground I'd have to go back bein' That broken soul you found Those days are in the darkness I buried them with hardness And I'd have to dig those Demons out Your life is like anchor that puts Me in my place No you won't let me sink when I'm off losin' my way Thank God for your virtue And the wisdom in your eye Cause somehow you Get through on All that crazy in my mind If I can't have you If I can't have you I would be a river Dried up into dust I would be imprisoned for never Having loved If I can't have you I don't wanna be me I don't wanna be me Why did it take you so long to Finally see That we had a love That you don't find easily You broke my heart and the price To pay for that Is you'll have to live the misery of Losing what you had If I can't have you My words have come to late I've already turned that page Don't you look at me that way Cause you'll pull me back and That's the part I hate I'll stay trapped inside my hell Where it's so hot That my walls melt And I can hear a promise In every lie you said You'd never tell If I had only told the truth Oh I could never trust you to You'll survive No I will die If I can't have you If I can't have you Then I'm sorry for the things I Cost you in the end My punishment is more than any Man can stand I need you in my life I can't let go Why don't you stay with me Tonight I feel alone Turn off all the lights Take me home If I can't have you If I can't have you Then I would be a river Dried up into dust I would be imprisoned For ever having loved If I can't have you I don't wanna be me To say it's love would be too simple
