Can't Have You
Yearning Freedom: Jason Blaine's Heartfelt Struggle in 'Can't Have You'
Lyrics
I can go out on a Tuesday night
I can enjoy socializing on a Tuesday night.
And stay all day with those friends of mine
I can spend the entire day with my friends.
And do what I want when I want to
I have the freedom to do what I want when I want.
But it's killing me that I can't have you
Despite my freedom, not being able to have you is distressing.
I can leave my clothes on a bedroom floor
I can leave my clothes casually without worry.
And not worry bout it anymore
Not concerned about the consequences anymore.
I can live my life like I used to
I can live my life as I used to.
But it's killing me that I can't have you
Still, the inability to have you is emotionally painful.
Yeah the funny thing 'bout freedom
Freedom has a cost that becomes apparent only when experienced.
Is you don't know what it costs
There's a price to pay for the freedom enjoyed.
'Til you spend that free time chasing
Free time can be spent chasing what was lost.
Everything you've lost
Reflecting on pursuing things that are no longer attainable.
Got what I thought I wanted
Attained what I thought I wanted.
And you found someone new
You moved on and found someone new.
Now it's killing me that I can't have you
The realization that I can't have you is distressing.
It's killing me that I can't have you
Repeating the emotional impact of not having you.
I can lie all night in a stranger's touch
I can engage in casual relationships for physical satisfaction.
And satisfy my heart with lust
Fulfilling the emotional void with temporary physical connections.
She won't ever know the truth
The other person remains unaware of the true feelings.
It's killing me that I can't have you
The inability to have you is emotionally distressing.
Yeah the funny thing 'bout freedom
Reiteration of the hidden costs of freedom.
Is you don't know what it costs
Freedom comes with unforeseen expenses.
'Til you spend that free time chasing
Investing free time in trying to regain lost things.
Everything you've lost
Reflecting on pursuing what has been lost.
Got what I thought I wanted
Had what I thought I desired.
And you found someone new
You moved on and found someone new.
It's killing me that I can't have you
The realization that I can't have you is distressing.
Yeah it's killing me that I can't have you
Expressing the ongoing pain of not having you.
Oh, baby
Expression of emotional pain or yearning.
Yeah the funny thing 'bout freedom
Reiteration of the hidden costs of freedom.
Is you don't know what it costs
Emphasizing the unforeseen expenses of freedom.
'Til you spend that free time chasing
Investing free time in trying to regain lost things.
Everything you've lost
Reflecting on pursuing what has been lost.
Got what I thought I wanted
Had what I thought I desired.
And you found someone new
You moved on and found someone new.
Now it's killing me that I can't have you
The realization that I can't have you is distressing.
Yeah it's killing me that I can't have you
Continuing to express the ongoing pain of not having you.
It's killing me that I can't have you
Reiterating the emotional impact of not having you.
Killing me that I can't have you
Expressing the persistent distress of not being able to have you.
