Christine Lavin - Jagged Hearts lyrics

I know that I never can have you So I will not even try If this had happened a few years ago I'd have taken you aside Whispered while no one was watching Looked deep into your brown eyes But I know that I cannot have you So I will not even try I've traveled for most of a decade I've seen some beautiful sights I've met so many wonderful people Nothing has ever felt this right But in the cool clear calm of the morning In the deep dark dreams of the night I know that I cannot have you Still I wish it with all of my might It's 3 AM, I'm wide awake I hear the ocean roar I wonder what you'd say to me If I just showed up at your door Your dogs would bark, you'd let me in You'd gently take my hand Explain to me why this could not be I'd say "I understand" There's no sense in taking this further Experience is making me wise I know when I'm close to that danger zone Where jagged hearts collide Is maturity smoothing my edges Or making love easier to deny? All I know is that I can't have you So I will not even try I know that I cannot have you
