Lyrics
I Can't Answer You Anymore
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.
Something came from nothing today
While I was saying no
So don't you knock on my door
'Cause I can't answer you anymore
Absence makes the heart grow far
Stayin' away from the people
Was a question before
But I can't answer you anymore
Skip to the scene where we meet,
And roll the song
I did everything right
For somebody that does everything wrong
So I go from coast to coast
Over the Hawthorne bridge
To the one I adore
You asked me what I'm looking for
But I can't answer you anymore
No, I can't answer you anymore
