lyrics

If You Really

You can sing me love songs 'till you’re blue in the face.
You can tell me the color of my eyes, but never know what I think.
You can send me roses, and I'll just let 'em die.
You can write me letter after letter, and I'll read 'em with dry eyes.

Cause I cannot have what I want,
I cannot give you what you need.

I feel like I've lost enough sleep, I did my penance paid my dues.
For the things that I said to you were not always true.
I've lost faith in feelings...love, hate and anger too.
And I don't know when I lost everything maybe the day I lost you.

But I cannot have what I want,
You cannot give me what I need.

Cause if you really knew me, then you would know,
The things that consume me, is everything I know.
So don't try to change me,
It won't come easily at all.

'Cause I cannot have what I want,
You cannot give me what I need.
