If I Can’t Have You
If I Can’t Have You
Shawn Mendes
Lyrics
[Chorus]
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
[Verse 1]
I’m in Toronto and I got this view
But I might as well be in a hotel room, yeah
It doesn’t matter ’cause I’m so consumed
Spending all my nights reading texts from you
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I’m good at keeping my distance
I know that you’re the feeling I’m missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothing if I can’t have you
[Chorus]
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
[Verse 2]
I’m so sorry that my timing’s off
But I can’t move on if we’re still gonna talk
Is it wrong for me to not want half?
I want all of you, all the strings attached
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I’m good at keeping my distance
I know that you’re the feeling I’m missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothing if I can’t have you
[Chorus]
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
[Bridge]
I’m trying to move on, forget you, but I hold on
Everything means nothing, everything means nothing, babe
I’m trying to move on, forget you, but I hold on
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you, no
[Chorus]
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you? (Can’t have you)
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?

Shawn Mendes Drops New Single ‘If I Can’t Have You’ With Video (Watch)
Shawn Mendes has released a new single titled “If I Can’t Have You” alongside an accompanying music video.
Mendes wrote the track with Scott Harris, Teddy Geiger, and Nate Mercreau. He’ll perform the single on “Saturday Night Live” May 4, marking his second appearance on “SNL.”
On Apple Music’s Beats 1, Mendes told Zane Low that “it’s a confident pop record and it’s clearly that for me.”
“I’m going through this phase right now where I’m testing out all the styles I can possibly be doing,” he continued. “Pop is what’s in my blood — no pun intended. In the last six months I wrote about 45 songs and they’re all over the place and different vibes. This is the one consistently every time I played for myself and for friends and family was giving people that smile.”
Mendes just wrapped the European leg of his world tour, and has more than 100 dates left throughout North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. He recently performed at the 2019 Grammys ceremony alongside Miley Cyrus for a tribute to Dolly Parton, who was honored with the Person of the Year award. The duo sang “Islands in the Stream” after linking up via Instagram DMs.
Shawn Mendes, “If I Can’t Have You”
Shawn Mendes keeps the love flowing with “If I Can’t Have You,” his first solo release since his 2018 self-titled album.
The Canadian pop star dropped the new track at midnight (May 3) alongside a moody black and white video, which sees Mendes at his charming best at the mic, behind a grand piano and on a treadmill (really).
It’s a sweet, sweet pop number, on which he sings, “I’m in Toronto and I got this view/But I might as well be in a hotel room, yeah/It doesn’t matter ’cause I’m so consumed/Spending all my nights reading texts from you.”
Shawn Mendes performs on stage at Arena Birmingham on April 9, 2019 in Birmingham, England.
