Can't You See


Always fighting

Don't want to fight anymore

Why can't you

Understand

I don't want this 

Like this

Anymore

Why is it so hard

To understand

I can't fight this anymore

That there's something

I need more

Trying so hard

To get back to before

But I can't

I won't

I don't know how to fight this

Don't want to feel like this

Forever

 

Tell me

What you want from me

When you kiss me

And pull me closer

What do you need from me

My sweet darling

Was there ever a way

I could make this

Any easier on you

Out of all the ways

I could say this

How could I

Save your heart

From this fall

I always warned you

I risked it all

And now I'm broken

And bleeding

Can't you see

How badly I hurt

Can't breathe

When you're holding me

So tightly

 

Don't fight it

Stop fighting me

I can't win

When you throw

Your love

At me

Like a weapon

You know

I can't say no

Don't want to let you go

If I had my way

A say

I'd say

Let's make it out of this together

But I don't want this

Can't feel this way forever

Can't you understand

Don't you see

How badly I'm hurting

That I'm not even me

The girl you love

Isn't even me
