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
Well, 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
So, 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 (whoa)
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, whoa
I got the thunder in my bones
I got the trouble in my soul
Drownin' in tears my eyes were too proud to cry
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 (whoa)
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
Do what you want but I can't save you no more
Do what you want but I can't save you no more
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
Well, 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
So, 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 (whoa)
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, whoa
I got the thunder in my bones
I got the trouble in my soul
Drownin' in tears my eyes were too proud to cry
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 (whoa)
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
Do what you want but I can't save you no more
Do what you want but I can't save you no more
