• I can't let go of the things I can't keep
    I can't lift my head, but I cannot sleep
    I can't touch you and I can't let you go
    I miss you so much but I can't let it show
    I can't object and I can't give in
    I can't look to God, yet I cannot sin
    I can't move on, but I can't go back
    I'm on the offense, but I can't attack

    I cannot lose and I cannot win
    I can't live outside, but I can't come in
    I can't show myself but I can't bear to hide
    I can't be a shell but there's nothing inside
    I can't let you know, but I can't play dumb
    I can't take the pain, but I can't go numb
    I can't face the truth but I can't tell a lie
    I can't take a breath but I just can't die
    I wish I could forget, but I cannot recall
    I can't be sturdy but you won't let me fall

    I can do nothing else, and so this I'll do:
    I'll sit here like an idiot and just wait for you.
