Shawn Mendes - If I Can't Have You Meaning

Song Released: 2019

If I Can't Have You Lyrics

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...

   I think the song is about loving someone but you can't have that someone because that someone already love someone else. He wants to talk to her but he couldn't bcuz he don't want ruin that girls love life which he only keep his distance to her.

   It could mean anything really, it could be about a special person in Shawn's life. He's telling this person that they mean so much to him. An intense love that is unwilling to give up. He just can't lose this person, and he did....he's just telling her that he still has feelings and he's always thinking about her. "Everything means nothing if I can't have you" it explains itself.
