Lyrics
I CAN?T
They say we?re perfect
You and I
They see we?re meant to be
Til we die
They see nothing but you and I
They see nothing
I?m caught in circles
Round and round
Sometimes you make it so I can?t even
Be found
You tell me one thing
Today
And tomorrow you?re so far away
I can?t spend my time waiting for some day
I can?t spend my time hoping that one day
I can?t fall down on my knees for you
Not like I used to do
I can?t pretend I don?t see the signs
Baby I can?t be that blind
Remember June when I walked with you
Then September?s golden moon
As we walked it felt just right
Nothing could take it away
But then you built your winter wall
And I couldn?t get anything through at all
Try as I might to climb
You?d knock down again
With that look in your eye
I can?t spend my time hoping that one day
I can?t spend my time waiting for some day
I can?t fall down on my knees for you,
Not like I used to do
I can?t pretend I don?t see the signs
Baby I can?t be that blind
Maybe it?s time for me to give up trying
To break into your secret world
Maybe it?s time for me to give up trying
To be what you want
Gotta be what I want
Chorus
