If I Can't Have You letra

Hearts break too fast, when they're sentimental
Won't stay, won't last, when it's love at first sight
So why are my convictions blinded by your spotlight

Can't breathe, can't sleep with some medication
I'll kiss goodbye to my reservations
I know there's other fish out in the sea
Not for me, I want you

If I can't have you, then I don't want anyone
If I can't have you, then all the damage has been done
Baby, you can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you will lose
If I can't have you

Heartbeat, cold sweat, thoughts slipping under
Can't fight, no threat 'cause there's just no use
One look, no hesitation, I'm slipping into you

Forgive these eyes, these lips you're tasting
No time to waste on an invitation
My shame, my self-control has suffered enough
And everybody wants to be loved

If I can't have you, then I don't want anyone
If I can't have you, then all the damage has been done
Baby, you can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you will lose
If I can't have you

I haven't seen the best that love has had to offer
They say perfection's always right around the corner
Could be true, but if I can't have you

If I can't have you, then I don't want anyone
If I can't have you, then all the damage has been done
Baby, you can break these rules
If you wanna have some fun
Think of all the love that you will lose
If I can't have you
