Lyrics John Farnham

John Farnham

When I Can't Have You

Every time I look into the mirror

Every time I have to close my eyes

I ask myself is it a sin to be a sinner

If it's only something in my mind

'Cause I know that we could never be

Like we want to be

I'm only make believing

I'm only self deceiving

Tell me how could I

Tell myself a lie

Dreaming is all I do

When I can't have you

Someone else can hold you like I want to

Someone else can really make you cry

Wish I could find a way to make it better

But I know that I shouldn't even try

'Cause I know that we could never be like we want to be

If I could be the only one that you'll come running to

If I could make the past undone I would

Sometimes I feel it's the way you look at me

The way that you do, when you know I can't have you
