If I Can't Have You

You tell me that you're leaving

You say that time

Will slow the bleeding

Of this heart that I've

Placed into your hands

I held it out to you

Now you give it back what am I supposed to do?

Oh I had a feeling this day would come

And leave me reeling

I just want to run back in your arms again

But they're no longer there

To hold me safe inside

To hold me anywhere

Ooh

If I can't have you

Then I have to find a way to get through

Though I don't want to

I have to do my best to recall

That I'm thankful that I held you at all

I miss you every morning

And in the evening rain

Tonight it's pouring

And I'm alone again

I count the seconds

Between the thoughts of you

I'm getting better baby, I'm almost up to two

Oh, You had your reasons

And I know

Some folks are seasons

They've got to come and go

But I'm still tender

I miss the summertime

When I could feel your love and I could still feel mine

Ooh

If I can't have you

Then I have to find a way to get through

Though I don't want to

I have to do my best to recall

That I'm thankful that I held you

You gave me everything

That I will need to walk this long road

(Showed me a way to get by)

Gave me a sense of pride

That I will carry with me all the way back home

Ooh

If I can't have you

Then I have to find a way to get through

Though I don't want to

I have to do my best to recall

That I'm thankful that I held you at all

I'm thankful that I held you

I'm thankful that I held you

I'm thankful that I held you

I'm thankful that I held you, held you, held you

I'm thankful that I held you

I'm thankful that I held you

I'm thankful that I held you

I'm thankful that I held you
