Meat Loaf, Hugh Laurie, Kara DioGuardi - If I Can't Have You lyrics

To say it's love would be too simple
Too obvious
It's more like a calling, a vocation
Something I was

Put on this earth to do
Now I'm shooting with the stars
And I'm flying with the angels
And my heartbeat is a symphony the
Closer I get to you
I never saw you comin' till you
Came and here you are
I never thought someone

Would ever dare to come this far
You're up for the resistance
And I'm strong in my persistence

And I've never known a remedy like ours
If I can't have you if I can't have you

I would be a river dried up into dust
I would be imprisoned for ever having loved

If I can't have you i don't wanna be me
Then I would be the same man
You scraped off the ground

I'd have to go back bein'
That broken soul you found
Those days are in the darkness
I buried them with hardness
And I'd have to dig those demons out
Your life is like anchor that puts
Me in my place

No you won't let me sink when
I'm off losin' my way
Thank God for your virtue
And the wisdom in your eye

Cause somehow you get through on
All that crazy in my mind
If I can't have you

If I can't have you i would be a river
Dried up into dust
I would be imprisoned for never

Having loved if I can't have you
I don't wanna be me i don't wanna be me

Why did it take you so long to finally see
That we had love that you don't find easily
You broke my heart and the price
To pay for that
Is you'll have to live the misery of
Losing what you had

If I can't have you
My words have come to late
I've already turned that page
Don't you look at me back and

That's the part I hate
I'll stay trapped inside my hell
Where it's so hot that my walls melt

And I can hear a promise
In every lie you said you'd never tell
If I had only told the truth

Oh I could never trust you to you'll survive
No I will die if I can't have you

If I can't have you
Then I'm sorry for the things I
Cost you in the end
My punishment is more than any

Man can stand i need you in my life
I can't let go why don't you stay with me

Tonight i feel alone
Turn off all the lights take me home
If I can't have you

If I can't have you then I would be a river
Dried up into dust i would be imprisoned

For ever having loved if I can't have you
I don't wanna be me
To say it's love would be too simple
