Don't Have You
Steven A. Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I wonder if you do
Do you know how I feel
How I obsess
How I need every promise
How I cling to your little words
Your phone is off and I imagine
past a cactus tree
You don't have to be so tough now
Don't you think that I'd understand
You don't have to be so certain now
That you're the only one with a plan
You can't pawn love
Love has demands
A voice calls out
Put up your hands and
The struggle's short and angry
And the gun lands in the gravel
And the barrel fills with sand
You don't have to be so tough now
Don't you think that I'd understand
You don't have to be so certain now
That you're the only one with a plan
You can't pawn love
Love has demands
When will you love me like you love running?
When will you love me like I love you?
Oh I believe you don't
But I wonder if you do
Oh I believe you won't
But I wonder if you will
Oh I believe you don't
But I wonder if you will

Could you help me please with lyrics of this song, please?
Can you find mistakes?
You used to be the queen of my castle
When I have been coming home from battle
I have been making love for hours
Now I can't let go .. get another chance with you
And we both know I was fucked up at the time
And all the bullshit of drinking with my friends
I didn't tell you one time I am so sorry that I lied to you
I click .. keep it I was feeling cause I thought I was .. what we have
So I think I am ashamed .. struggling in cliches it was made out of it
And you think you can handle it but you can't handle it I am sorry but is true
I need another drink so basically what I did. What I did for you
I sacrificed the only one I ever loved and I see is gone just like falling star
And I can't stop thinking about what could have been done
I guess it really doesn't matter that is because
I don't have you I don't have you
I don't have you I don't have you
I don't have you I don't have you
I don't have you I don't have you
I don't have you I don't have you
I don't have you I don't have you
I don't have you I don't have you
I don't have you I don't have you
And I still can't forget the time shorty fucked up with that guy
And I still ..get up in your pants you should have tried to act the truth
I tried to keep it in the back of my mind I tried it all the time
I know it ain't fair but I am a man and you were mine what was I supposed to do
I can't continue with the pain that I was feeling but .. what we had
Still I blame it on the music sound cliches it was made out of you
And you think you can handle it but you can't handle it I am sorry but is true
I need another drink so basically what I did. What I did for you
I sacrificed the only one I ever loved and I see is gone just like falling star
And I can't stop thinking about what could have been done
I guess it really doesn't matter that is because
I don't have you I don't have you
I don't have you I don't have you
I don't have you I don't have you
