Can't Have You Lyrics
You warned me that
You were gonna leave
I never thought
You would really go
I was blind
But, baby, now I see
I broke your heart
And now I know
That I was being such a fool
That I didn't deserve you
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I don't know if I'll get up
And I don't wanna cause a scene
But I'm dying without your love
I'm begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me too
'Cause I'd rather just be alone
If I know that I can't have you
Looking at the letter that you left
(The letter that you left; will I ever get you back?)
Wondering if I'll ever get you back
Dreaming about when I'll see you next
(When will I see you next? Will I ever get you back?)
Knowing that I never will forget
(I won't forget, I won't forget)
That I was being such a fool
That I still don't deserve you
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I don't know if I'll get up
And I don't wanna cause a scene
'Cause I'm dying without your love, yeah
I'm begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me too
'Cause I'd rather just be alone
If I know that I can't have you
So tell me what we're fighting for
'Cause we know that the truth means so much more
'Cause you would if you could
Don't lie
(Don't lie)
'Cause I'll give everything that I've got left
To show you I mean what I have said
I know I was such a fool
But I can't live without you
Don't wanna fall asleep
Don't know if I'll get up
I don't wanna cause a scene
But I'm dying without your love
I'm begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me too
'Cause I'd rather just be alone
If I know that I can't have you, yeah
Don't wanna fall asleep
(Don't wanna fall asleep)
'Cause I don't know if I'll get up
(Who knows if I'll get up)
I don't wanna cause a scene
'Cause I'm dying without your love, yeah
I'm begging to hear your voice
(Let me hear your voice)
Tell me you love me too
(Tell me you love me too)
'Cause I'd rather just be alone
If I know that I can't have you
You were gonna leave
I never thought

I was blind
But, baby, now I see
I broke your heart
And now I know
That I didn't deserve you
'Cause I don't know if I'll get up
And I don't wanna cause a scene
But I'm dying without your love
I'm begging to hear your voice
Tell me you love me too
'Cause I'd rather just be alone
If I know that I can't have you
(The letter that you left; will I ever get you back?)
Wondering if I'll ever get you back
Dreaming about when I'll see you next
(When will I see you next? Will I ever get you back?)
Knowing that I never will forget
(I won't forget, I won't forget)
That I still don't deserve you
'Cause I don't know if I'll get up
And I don't wanna cause a scene
'Cause I'm dying without your love, yeah
I'm begging to hear your voice

this song kind of makes me want to cry. seriously.
it's just so heartfelt.
whoever it's about. damn.
although. at the detroit show. they dedicated it to their dad. ewsies papaaaa creeper.
i was at the Detroit show when they played this and the dedication. actually, they got into an arguement with their dad that day--they were very stressed (they got stuck at the border coming from Toronto, making them 5 hours late)! and they played this song and dedicated it to him as an apology.

Is there a video or aricle about that?

wow this is so great. this is one of the first times when you actually here that nick means what he's singing when he sings it.
"i don't want to fall asleep, cuz i don't know if i'll get up"
wow those are some deep lines.
Wow this definitely shows how much more mature and grown up they have gotten. There are a few lines that just like, made me go, "Wow," and I could just sit there. I never really knew they could be so deep (ha-ha) but I mean like this is one of the best on the album.
this is one of the jonas brother's truly heartfelt and serious songs I admire them for their lyrical abilities yet a lot of their songs can be a bit low key and not so serious
out of "A little bit longer" this is probably one of the best songs
It basically discusses their feelings about a girl who they're truly in love with you never really know if you'll be here tomorrow, so they're scared to fall asleep because they may never see her again They apologize for acting like they don't care, because deep inside, they can't live without her
What a sad song, I love JB!
This is actually my most favorite Jonas Brothers song. I don't know if anybody else notices this, but in the second verse when Nick sings back-up, it sounds like R&B.
It's inspirational and a truely awesome song. :D
I honestly think it's absolute genius where they say,
"I don't wanna make a scene. But, I'm dying with out your love."
I just think that line is so deep. It's kind of difficult for me to explain where i'm coming from, because I know the line before it seems much deeper, but let's put it this way...
We all know it's a big deal if someone were literally dying, so when he says, "I don't want to make a scene." I think it means that he doesn't want the person to see him in this situation/he doesn't want to burden him.
So, I actually think it has a much deeper meaning than what I just said, and there's something else to it, but it's kind of hard for me to explain.
:]
