I Can'T

You’d think by now I’d be used to this All the problems you’ll never see You’d think by now I’d be past all this Every worry you’ll never have I can’t believe we’re giving up on this After we’ve already pulled through so much I can’t tell you how much it hurts me To see your face all twisted in pain It’s hard to make you really see All the consuming vain What you see on me is but a mask A carefully planned disguise You’ll never truly understand what’s going on inside I see through jaded eyes and an iced over heart It’s difficult to decide with you Between reality and fantasy when both are so confusing I can’t tell you how much it hurts me To see your face all twisted in pain It’s hard to make you really see All the consuming vain You will never understand me Until you’ve stepped into my shoes But trust me you wouldn’t want to My world is scary and confusing But with the help of music and family Issues quickly disappear I can’t tell you how much it hurts me To see your face all twisted in pain It’s hard to make you really see All the consuming vain
