The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was practicing what I had left to say

But I can’t say now

No, I never thought that you

Would have the nerve

To go and shoot her down

You were terrified of love

And then you finally let it out

I knew it isn’t true

Now the rest is coming

But I never thought it would be so soon

If it’s fire for the poor and their feathers

You tar me with the glue

I never dreamed that you would be the one

To shoot me down so soon

Oh no, no no

It can’t be you, it can’t be you

It can’t be you, it can’t be you

It can’t be you, it can’t be you

But I can’t say now

No I never thought that you

Would have the nerve

To go and shoot me down

You were terrified of love

And then you finally let it out

Oh I know

It can’t be you, it can’t be you

It can’t be you, it can’t be you

It can’t be you, it can’t be you
