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
.
