Can'T

I wish I could make you remember Everything you used to feel But… I can’t I wish I could turn everything back And love you the way I could But… I can’t I wish you would say you still loved me As much as you used to But… You can’t I wish I could be her, the one lying in your arms While I sit here crying again But… I can’t I wish I could erase your memories And stop the rivers falling from my eyes But… I can’t I wish I could hear you call me “baby” And kiss me like you used to But… I can’t I wish the pain would stop completely So I would never have to cry But… It can’t I wish the blood would stop pouring From this open wound I have But… It can’t Loving you is like breathing And I want to stop But… I can’t .
