Lyrics
I Can't Fly
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've tried my very best to meet all of your demands
The more I try more faults you find I just don't understand
You want me to be perfect and with all my heart I've tried
You're looking for an angel and I'm sorry I can't fly
If you could only feel the pain that's in this heart of mine
Each little fault you find with me you turn into a crime
Your doubtful thoughts and jealousy have caused our love to die
You're looking for an angel and I'm sorry I can't fly
[ fiddle - steel ]
Love could have been the sweetest thing two people ever knew
If you had only realized how much I cared for you
I know you'll go on searching for that perfect guy
And I hope his wings are pretty cause you see I can't fly
