Can't Keep...
Whoa, baby...
I don't know what to say this time
I know, I know;
I should speak words of joy. But half would be lies.
Yes, I know the way I see us has to change
But I can't get through my heart
What I've realized in my brain:
Things can never be the same.
But I can't keep sittin' around
Hoping it don't work out between you and he
'Cause if I truly live for loving you,
Then that contradicts all I say my life is about.
I can't keep hoping for something I know would break your
heart.
'Cause though I want you more than words could ever say
I need to love you the right way.
Whoa, baby...
I don't know what to do...
...do with myself.
Now that my one and only love (only love)
Only loves someone else.
And even if I lived this whole damned life again
Still I'd never be prepared
For the way I'm torn within,
Knowing that you'll marry him
But I can't keep sittin' around
Hoping it don't work out between you and he.
'Cause if I truly live for loving you,
Then that contradicts all I say my life is about.
I can't keep hoping for something I know would break your
heart.
'Cause though I want you more than words could ever say
I need to love you the right way.
Still...
If only we could have one last go-round;
A chance to share this passion, so profound
You just might get caught up in it
And let that other plan indefinitely be suspended
But I can't keep sittin' around
Hoping it don't work out between you and he.
'Cause if I truly live for loving you,
Then that contradicts all I say my life is about.
No, I can't keep hoping for something I know would break
your heart.
'Cause though I want you more than words could ever say
I need to love you the right way.
...But I still want you.
Oh, how I want you...
I still want you more than words could ever say,
But I need to love you the right way.
