Can’t Have You There

Verse 1

You only call when the night's getting late

I let it ring, then I call you anyway

I told my friends that I'm over your name

But I still look when your picture gets played

Verse 2

You got a way of making me forget

All of the things that I said I'd never let

I know you're bad at saying what you mean

But somehow I keep reading in between

Pre-Chorus

And I don't wanna know where you been

If you're gonna come back acting like we friends

I hate that I still make excuses

For somebody who don't even use 'em

Chorus

You're so far, but you're still on my mind

I could be with somebody else tonight

Still wouldn't feel like I'm doing it right

Something 'bout you I can't leave behind

Verse 3

And I know, I know

We don't gotta make this complicated

But I get close, then I get scared

Like, I want you here, but I can't have you there

Verse 4

I heard you been asking 'bout me again

How come you never say it yourself?

You know I don't like hearing things secondhand

Especially when I know how this ends

Verse 5

I got a couple things I never said

A couple nights I wish I could forget

You weren't the only one who got confused

I played it cool when I was hurting too

Pre-Chorus

And I don't wanna know who you touch

If you still think 'bout me half as much

I hate that I keep making room

For somebody who keeps leaving too soon

Chorus

You're so far, but you're still on my mind

I could be with somebody else tonight

Still wouldn't feel like I'm doing it right

Something 'bout you I can't leave behind

Verse 6

And I know, I know

We don't gotta make this complicated

But I get close, then I get scared

Like, I want you here, but I can't have you there
