If I Don't Have You Songtext
von Love & the Outcome

How can I build Your kingdom if I′m building my own?
How can You be my treasure if I'm digging for gold?
How can You be my fire if my heart has grown cold?
How can You be my future if I′ve made this my home?
How can I?
How can I?

I don't want the world if I don't have You
I don′t want it all if it means I lose You
I′ve tasted, and I've seen enough to know it′s You I need
I don't want the world if I don′t have You
If I don't have You


How can I say I need You and live on my own?
How can I say I want You and never come close? (Whoa, oh)
How can I say I surrender and never let go? (Whoa, oh)
How can I say I love You to someone I don′t know?
How can I?
How can I?

I don't want the world if I don't have You
I don′t want it all if it means I lose You
I′ve tasted, and I've seen enough to know it′s You I need
I don't want the world if I don′t have You

I give You every failure, every dream, and every mountain-top
I give You everything I thought of me and nail it to the cross
I leave behind me what is ashes and what will be dust
All I am to You, my God, for all else will be lost

I don't want the world if I don′t have You
I don't want it all (I don't want it all) if it means I lose You
I′ve tasted, and I′ve seen enough to know it's You I need
I don′t want the world (I don't want the world) if I don′t have You


I don't want the world if I don′t have You
I don't want it all if it means I lose You
I've tasted, and I′ve seen enough to know it′s You I need
I don't want the world (I don′t want the world) if I don't have You
If I don′t have You
