Maybe it's just, that we met
up, under fuzz terms
Or maybe the universe's
playing jokes on us
Try to keep my light on
Try to keep my light on for you
Oh boy did you know?
I got my feet on the ground
You would not know me now
Gotta keep my world in check
Believe me when I say it's over
'Cause I know [ x3 ]
I tried but I can't fake it
I see you calling
But I know
I can't take it
After covering all those bases
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Looking back now
I can see I made some mistakes
Apologizing when you were wrong
Then pain for your place
Cut my heart open
I layed it all out now
I changed the locks you know
I got my feet on the ground
You would not know me
Gotta keep my world in check
Believe me when I say its
over 'Cause I know [ x3 ]
I tried but I can't fake it
I see you calling
But I know
I can't take it
After covering all those bases
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Oh you know you left me sideways
I'm done with all your
highs and goodbyes babe
Sometimes the stars don't
allign and it's okay
Yeah we're broken oh you can't take it
I tried but I can't fake it
I see you calling
But I know I can't take it
After covering all those bases
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
up, under fuzz terms
Or maybe the universe's
playing jokes on us
Try to keep my light on
Try to keep my light on for you
Oh boy did you know?
I got my feet on the ground
You would not know me now
Gotta keep my world in check
Believe me when I say it's over
'Cause I know [ x3 ]
I tried but I can't fake it
I see you calling
But I know
I can't take it
After covering all those bases
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Looking back now
I can see I made some mistakes
Apologizing when you were wrong
Then pain for your place
Cut my heart open
I layed it all out now
I changed the locks you know
I got my feet on the ground
You would not know me
Gotta keep my world in check
Believe me when I say its
over 'Cause I know [ x3 ]
I tried but I can't fake it
I see you calling
But I know
I can't take it
After covering all those bases
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Oh you know you left me sideways
I'm done with all your
highs and goodbyes babe
Sometimes the stars don't
allign and it's okay
Yeah we're broken oh you can't take it
I tried but I can't fake it
I see you calling
But I know I can't take it
After covering all those bases
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all
Been here before you should know
You can't have it all

aside undiscovered, can't have it all is her best ballad break up song. Her voice sounds perfectly perfect. You can relate to lyrics, at least me. The music is catchy. I want more music from her.
'Maybe it's just that we met up under FALSE terms'.
I think this is about A girl who was in love with a boy, but he treated her badly, and she's basically telling him, you can't have it all.
it's about how she's grown up really,
and it's happy, because she's over the way her ex boyfriend treated her.
i think this is such a strong, i mean i'd take the call, but then again she did the breaking up...but still...maybe i'm weak when it comes to this stuff. i love it, even though i'm down i can manage to listen to it without crying.
she is saying she is done with all the trouble they had before and don't want to go there again..
she says she is sorry that their relationship didnt
work (even tho she tried) but "sometimes you can't have it all", and there is nothing they can do
about it
but end it for good
