Wouldn't Let Me Love You
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'm standing here paralyzed
So helpless right before your eyes
And all that you can seem to do is look away
I know this weight that's on my shoulders
Is telling me it's really over
And now goodbye's the only thing that's left to say
You were always worth the risk
But how'd it come to this
Cause I've opened up my heart to bleed
I Let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you
You couldn't let me love you
I tried to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me love you
Somehow you said all the right things
To cover up the pain you're hiding
And never let me in close enough to touch
You live with all these walls around you
Impossible for me to break through
And baby even I can only fight so much
And it's cutting me so deep
Promises I tried to keep
Cause I've opened up my heart to bleed
I let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you
You couldn't let me love you
I lied to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me love you
And you should have been the one
The more I love, the more you run
I opened up my heart to bleed
I let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you
You couldn't let me love you
I tried to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me, wouldn't let me
You wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me, wouldn't let me
I'm standing here paralyzed
So helpless right before your eyes
And all that you can do is look away
