Only 'cause I Don't Have You Lyrics

by Ramsey McLean 

Turn off the music 

Take down the signs 

Pack up the boxes 

Put away the wine 

No toast for the future 

No reward for the find 

If looks could kill 

this mirror would do 

Only 'cause I don't have you 

Don't bother with ovations 

Leave off the fanfare 

Let the candles melt down 

Till the smoke's all that's there 

Leave the veil in place 

A tear, la mer 

I could say it was nothing 

Now that there's nothing new 

Only 'cause I don't have you 

Not built on a wisp or whim 

Twist an arm, break a leg 

Tear me limb from limb 

If there's a point you've made it 

If there's a fare I've paid it 

Later on good wishes 

Later on good try 

I'm afraid won't do 

It's not justified 

You go from the privy 

And you end up deprived 

On top of the world 

But still there's no view 

Only 'cause I don't have you
