I Can’t Have You NovYric Production by DJ_Rakim (Saxofoon Vocal Afro Tech )

[Intro – lights low, DJ echo] I see you walking in the evening light Like a dream that fades before the night You smile at me, but it ain’t the same I call your heart, but it don’t know my name I keep your shadow deep inside my soul A broken man who just can’t let go You’re so close, but you’re miles away I lose a little more with every day This old guitar cries better than me Sings all the things you’ll never see [First Drop – Chorus] Because I want you, baby, but you’re not mine I taste your love like cheap red wine (It burns so slow, it cuts so deep) You’re the kind of hurt I just can’t keep Oh, I need you, but I can’t break through Lord have mercy, I can’t have you [Verse – beat pulled back] The midnight rain keeps tapping on my door Sounds like the pain I’ve known before Here I stand with nothing left to lose Just a heart full of fire and these lonely blues This old guitar cries better than me Sings all the things you’ll never see [Bridge – build] Maybe in another life, another time You’d take these hands and call them thine So I’ll play these strings until the morning comes And drown my heart in these old blues songs [Final Drop – tight mix] Because I want you, baby, but you’re not mine (I keep your shadow deep inside my soul) I taste your love like cheap red wine (It burns so slow, it cuts so deep) You’re the kind of hurt I just can’t keep You’re so close, but you’re miles away Oh, I need you, but I can’t break through Lord have mercy, I can’t have you [Outro – chant] Lord have mercy, I can’t have you It burns so slow, it cuts so deep Lord have mercy, I can’t have you You’re the kind of hurt I just can’t keep Lord have mercy, I can’t have you
