I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed |
|
I might be proving you right with my silence or my retaliation |
|
Would I be letting you win in my non reaction? Yeah |
|
And how would I explain? |
|
And how would I explain this to my children if I had them? |
|
Because I can't not, because I can't not |
|
Because I can't afford to be misread one more time |
|
Would it be whining if I said I needed a hug? |
|
Would you feel slighted if I said your love's not enough? |
|
And how can I complain? |
|
And how can I complain when I'm the one who reaches for this? |
|
Because I can't not, because I can't not |
|
Because I cannot walk without my crutches |
|
Because I can't not, because I can't not |
|
Because I can't help wonder why you ask me |
|
To all the unheard wisdom in the school yard |
|
You think you're the right ones |
|
You think you're the charmed ones, I'm sure |
|
And how can you go on with such conviction? |
|
And who do you think you are or why do you question me? |
|
Because we can't not, because we can't not |
|
Because we can't help laugh at underestimations |
|
Because we can't not, because we can't not |
|
Because we can't afford to be misled one more time |
|
Because we can't not, because we can't not |
|
Because we cannot help without your willingness |
|
Because we can't not, because we can't not |
|
Because we can't not, because we can't not |
|
Because we can't not |
|
Why do you affect me? Why do you affect me still? |
|
Why do you hinder me? Why do you hinder me still? |
|
Why do you unnerve me? Why do you unnerve me still? |
|
Why do you trigger me? Why do you trigger me still? |
|
Because we can't not, because we can't not |
|
Because we can't not, because we can't not |
|
Because we can't not |
