I Can't

(album: 17 - 2021)

I'll break your heart
Then I'll pretend that I never meant you
I'll pull us apart
With all the things that I never tell you

I'll lose my mind
Just tryna understand all of these feelings
I'll make you cry
But I would just be happy pretending

So I stay inside
On Friday nights
I promise you will have good intention
And I hope you know
It's not personal
I want you, but I just can't risk it

So don't ask me to stay
I'll be so far away
Before you even get the chance
Don't know why I'm this way
All I can say
Is I just can't

You break my heart
And now I'll never really forget you
You tear me apart
And I'll be wishing I never met you

So if you can't tell
I like to keep to myself
I don't wanna be alone
But it's so much easier
To not get hurt
And I not get anything at all

So don't ask me to stay
I'll be so far away
Before you even get the chance
Don't know why I'm this way
All I can say
Is I just can't
