Lyrics When I Can't Have You - John Farnham

Every time I look into the mirror
Every time I have to close my eyes
I ask myself is it a sin to be a sinner
If it's only something in my mind
'Cause I know that we could never be
Like we want to be

I'm only make believing
I'm only self deceiving
How could I
Tell myself a lie
Dreaming is all I do
When I can't have you

Someone else can hold you like I want to
Someone else can really make you cry
Wish I could find a way to make it better
But I know that I shouldn't even try
'Cause I know that we could never be
Like we want to be

I'm only make believing
I'm only self deceiving
Tell me how could I
Tell myself a lie
Dreaming is all I do
When I can't have you

If I could be the only one that you come running to
If I could make the past undone I would
Sometimes I feel it's the way you look at me
The way that you do
When you know I can't have you

I'm only make believing
Oh, and I know I'm self deceiving

I'm only make believing
I'm only self deceiving
Tell me how could I
Tell myself a lie
Dreaming is all I do
When I can't have you

I'm only make believing
I'm only self deceiving
Tell me how could I
Tell myself a lie
Dreaming is all I do

(I'm only make believing) I'm only make believing
(I'm only self deceiving) I'm only make believing
(I'm only make believing) make believing
(I'm only self deceiving) I'm only self deceiving
(I'm only make believing)
(I'm only self deceiving)
(I'm only make believing)
