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
the freshmen
When you reach for a star
Only angels are there
And it's not very far
Just to step on a stair
Take a look at those clowns
And the tricks that they play
In the circus of life
Life is bitter and gay
There are clowns in the night
Clowns everywhere
See how they run
Run from despair
You can be thrilled
And you can be free
"How?"
But only my friend
If you'll listen to me
When the fantasy bells
Of the universe ring
You can fly through the sky
On a dragonfly's wing
There is magic within
There is magic without
Only angels are there
And it's not very far
Just to step on a stair
Take a look at those clowns
And the tricks that they play
In the circus of life
Life is bitter and gay
There are clowns in the night
Clowns everywhere
See how they run
Run from despair
You can be thrilled
And you can be free
"How?"
But only my friend
If you'll listen to me
When the fantasy bells
Of the universe ring
You can fly through the sky
On a dragonfly's wing
There is magic within
There is magic without
