I Can'T Love That Way
Every morning I try
not to remember
the way I cried,
the way I loved you
the way you lied.
Every day a little better,
I feel the sunshine
and find my way home,
one day at a time
it's another good sign.
So please be free
and stay away from me.
I know you're unafraid
and can’t be blamed,
but I can't love that way.
I can't stay and bleed,
I need to breath,
I need to be me,
there is not a lot to say
I can't love that way.
The words are long gone
scattered like leaves
as soon as they fall,
gone with the breeze,
released, once and for all.
Gone to the shadows,
to lie in the dark, to heal,
to steal back the heart
that was torn apart.
It won’t be the same
but I can’t love that way.
So goodbye
All that was promised..
Goodbye
It was only a dream..
Goodbye
There’s nothing to say..
Goodbye
Cause I can’t love that way.
