I Can't

  • I've got the thunder in my bones, I've got the trouble in my soul
    Drowning in tears my eyes were too proud to cry
    I hear you knockin' at my door, but I can't open it no more
    'Cause this heart's half full of rain and risin' high
    Sometimes all that you can do is just survive

    I can't row you across right now
    I can't row you across right now
    I'm too busy building a bridge
    I can't throw you a line right now
    I can't throw you a line right now
    I'm too busy tryin' to live

    I've been a fool for holding on, I've been a fool for being strong
    I've been a fool for love and I'll be a fool again (fool again)
    As soon as the rain stops pouring down, as soon as I find some higher ground
    I'll be good as new but I can't tell you when
    So, just keep on striking matches until then

    'Cause I can't burn you a flame right now
    I can't burn you a flame right now
    I'm too busy seeing the light
    I can't lift you up right now
    I can't lift you up right now
    I'm too busy tryin' to fly

    Let go the anchor, let go the chain
    Don't reach for me and don't call my name
    Shake off the past and baby, just swim for the shore
    Blow me a kiss and hope for the best
    Wish what you will and take what you get
    Do what you want but I can't save you no more

    I got the thunder in my bones, I got the trouble in my soul
    Drownin' in tears, my eyes were too proud to cry
    And I can't whisper a prayer right now
    I can't whisper a prayer right now
    I'm too busy, baby, sayin' goodbye

    Let go the anchor, let go the chain
    Don't reach for me and don't call my name
    Shake off the past and baby just swim for the shore
    Blow me a kiss and hope for the best
    Wish what you will, take what you get
    Do what you want but I can't save you no more
    Do what you want but I can't save you no more
    Do what you want but I can't save you no more Writer/s: Tania Hancheroff, Tia Sillers, Victoria Wenonah Banks
