Can't Have It All
Navigating Love's Limits: Ashlee Simpson's 'Can't Have It All' Insights
Lyrics
Maybe it's just, that we met up, under fuzz terms
Maybe our meeting occurred under unclear or ambiguous circumstances.
Or maybe the universe's playing jokes on us
It's possible that fate or the universe is playing tricks on us.
Try to keep my light on
I'm trying to maintain my positivity or hope.
Try to keep my light on for you
I'm trying to maintain hope specifically for you.
Oh boy did you know?
Do you realize?
I got my feet on the ground
I am grounded and realistic.
You would not know me now
You might not recognize who I am anymore.
Gotta keep my world in check
I need to keep my life in order.
Believe me when I say it's over
Believe me, it's truly finished or done.
'Cause I know, I know, I know
I'm confident and certain.
I tried but I can't fake it
I attempted, but I can't pretend or fabricate feelings.
I see you calling but I know I can't take it
I notice your attempts to communicate, but I can't endure it.
After covering all those bases
Despite addressing all aspects of this situation,
Been here before you should know
I've been in this situation previously, and you should be aware of that.
You can't have it all
You cannot possess everything you desire.
Looking back now I can see I made some mistakes
Reflecting back, I acknowledge making errors.
Apologizing when you were wrong
Apologizing even when you were at fault.
Then pain for your place
Feeling hurt in place of you.
Cut my heart open
I exposed my vulnerability.
I layed it all out now I changed the locks you know
I revealed everything, but now I've taken measures to protect myself.
I got my feet on the ground
I am stable and grounded in reality.
You would not know me now
You may not recognize me as I am now.
Gotta keep my world in check
I need to maintain control over my life.
Believe me when I say it's over
Believe me, it's truly concluded.
'Cause I know, I know, I know
I'm certain and resolute.
I tried but I can't fake it
I attempted, but I cannot pretend.
I see you calling but I know I can't take it
I notice your attempts to contact me, but I can't handle it.
After covering all those bases
Despite addressing all aspects of this situation,
Been here before you should know
I've been in this situation before, and you should be aware of that.
You can't have it all
You cannot possess everything you desire.
Been here before you should know
I've experienced this before, and you should understand.
You can't have it all
You cannot possess everything you desire.
Oh you know you left me sideways
You've left me feeling disoriented or confused.
I'm done with all your highs and goodbyes babe
I'm tired of your emotional ups and downs and farewells, it's over.
Sometimes the stars don't allign and it's okay
Sometimes things don't work out, and that's acceptable.
Yeah we're broken oh you can't take it
Yes, we're damaged, and you can't handle it.
I tried but I can't fake it
I attempted, but I can't pretend or fabricate feelings.
I see you calling but I know I can't take it
I notice your attempts to communicate, but I can't endure it.
After covering all those bases
Despite addressing all aspects of this situation,
Been here before you should know
I've been in this situation previously, and you should be aware of that.
You can't have it all
You cannot possess everything you desire.
Been here before you should know
I've experienced this before, and you should understand.
You can't have it all
You cannot possess everything you desire.
