I Can't
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.
This ain't a twenty minute town no more
It don't look the same
Red lights, bars, streets, too much concrete
I don't recognize a thing
Ain't a twenty minute call no more
No, you don't call me at all
Outside, a rain falls, curtains half drawn
I'm here, talking to the walls
All the time and the whiskey I've wasted
That I ain't ever getting back
And I've tried to find the courage just to face it
But I can't, I can't
And I'm tired of you feeling like a stranger
Over and over again
Oh, when everything around me keeps changing
But I can't, I can't, I can't
If feels impossible to move sometimes
Like you're still in the room
Smoke on my breath, chains on my chest
Damn, you won't cut me loose
I just gotta get out of here (I gotta get out of here)
Get up off the floor
Find my senses 'cause you meant it
You're not coming back no more
All the time and the whiskey I've wasted
That I ain't ever getting back
Oh, I've tried to find the courage just to face it
But I can't, I can't
And I'm tired of you feeling like a stranger
Over and over again
Oh, when everything around me keeps changing
But I can't (I can't), I can't (I can't), I can't
Oh, I can't, I can't
All the time and the whiskey I've wasted
That I ain't ever getting back
I've tried to find the courage just to face it
But I can't, I can't
And I'm tired of you feeling like a stranger
Over and over again (over and over again)
Oh, when everything around me keeps changing
But I can't (I can't), I can't (I can't), I can't
(As hard as I try, as hard as I try)
I can't, I can't
(As hard as I try, as hard as I try)
I can't, I can't, I can't
Oh (as hard as I try, as hard as I try) I can't
I can't
(As hard as I try, as hard as I try)
