You can't

by Bri   Sep 9, 2006


You can’t miss something that was never there
You can’t say you love me, then say you don’t care
You can’t hurt me deeply, then take it back
You can’t say I’m perfect, then tell me what I lack

You can’t rip my heart out, then expect me not to scream
You can’t give me hope, then tell me not to dream
You can’t push me away, then hold me close
You can’t say I’ve had enough, then give me another dose

You can’t kill me softly, then bring me back to life
You can’t dull my mind, then sharpen the knife
You can’t tell me it’s okay, then make it bad
You can’t break my heart, then expect me to be glad

You can’t leave me breathless, then tell me to calm down
You can’t tell me to be quiet, then turn up the sound
You can’t leave me alone, then make me be with you
You can’t lie to me, then force me to tell the truth

You can’t mend my feelings, then stomp on my beliefs
You can’t seem uptight, then make me feel relieved
You can’t run away from me, then tell me that I’m slow
You can’t leave things out, then remember the unknown.

You couldn’t, then you did.
