Lyrics
I DON?T HAVE YOU
Words and Music by Sandy Martin
Verse 1:
Where were you today
when I laid my head upon my pillow and I cried?
(Oh God how I cried).
You used to ask me, ?Baby, what?s wrong??
Now you deny what we had.
What was so bad?
You?re in the arms of someone new,
a thing I thought you?d never do.
Refrain:
I don?t have you, how can I believe in love?
I don?t have you; it was just a fairy tale.
I don?t? have you, how can I believe in love?s promises?
(They?re so easily broken).
Verse 2:
They say you need to love yourself
before you learn to love another.
That wasn?t true. (God, what did I do?)
If we had only looked beyond the hurt,
we?d find the answers were there,
but you didn?t care.
You?re the one who walked away,
they say I?m better off today.
Repeat Refrain:
Bridge:
?For better or for worse, in good times and in bad.?
Those were the words I spoke; someday that?s what I?ll have!
Modified Refrain: (Coda)
I don?t have you, but I can still believe in love.
I don?t have you; real love is not a fairy tale.
I don?t have you, but I can still believe in love?s promises.
I won?t be so easily broken.
