Navvy – If You Can't Be My Lover lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish you hadn’t let me leave
And I miss when you would fight for me
And I know I’m not your girlfriend anymore
But maybe you and I could pretend that I’m yours
For one night

[Pre-Chorus]
I think one night is all I need
And I still think about you constantly
And I know I need to move on on my own
But that’s hard when I still live here in the home we shared

[Chorus]
If you can’t be my lover
Baby, can you find a way to stay?
I’m not trying to cause any trouble
I don’t wanna get in your way
And maybe this is all off colour
But baby, I’m not ready to say goodbye
If this doesn’t work don’t know what will
Not sure how much more I can cry

[Verse 2]
Sometimes you still hold my hand
(When it’s quiet and there’s no one around)
I guess I understand
(It doesn’t make it less confusing)
And I know that I should tell you to let go
(But I can’t find the words)
But I’m scared you’ll never come back and I’ll be alone

[Bridge]
And I don’t wanna live without you by my side
But I guess I’ll have to try

[Chorus]
If you can’t be my lover
Baby, can you find a way to stay?
I’m not trying to cause any trouble
I don’t wanna get in your way
And maybe this is all off colour
But baby, I’m not ready to say goodbye
If this doesn’t work don’t know what will
Not sure how much more I can cry
