I Can't Be

(album: Where We Left Off - 2017)

You, you know where I go
You know where I go to retreat
When everything's a little complicated
Then I, I will just hide
I will just hide behind lies
Ignoring everything I've felt inside

These walls were meant for breaking
You were meant to save me

I can't be the way I used to be
If I want to keep you here with me
I can't love the way I used to love
If I want to keep you here with me
What good is a life lived alone

Whoa, whoa
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
What good is a life, what good is a life
What good is a life lived alone

If you, if you only knew
It's always been you so I won't
Keep living life like it lasts forever

Your time's not meant for wasting
Years spent trying to save me

I can't be the way I used to be
If I want to keep you here with me
I can't love the way I used to love
If I want to keep you here with me
What good is a life lived alone

(Whoa, whoa)
what good is a life lived alone
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
what good is a life lived alone
(Whoa, whoa)
What good is a life, what good is a life
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
What good is a life lived alone

Done leaving words unspoken
Done hiding all my emotions
Won't leave you here feeling broken
I'll show you love, just let it find a way

I can't be the way I used to be
If I want to keep you here with me
I can't love the way I used to love
If I want to keep you here with me

(Whoa, whoa)
What good is a life, what good is a life
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
What good is a life lived alone
