I can't

I can’t stand up here

And tell you I know your pain

And you can’t sit there

And tell me you know mine

I can’t tell you I’m sorry

For all the wrong that’s done

For the only serious repentance

Can be from the guilty one

I can’t be angry at those who’ve done wrong

For If I sought vengeance

For those who’ve lost their song

I’d be the one causing their pain

I can’t tell you why I’ve gone mute

For all I say or do is punishment

For parents whose thoughts rebuke

Everything you, no I, do Is wrong

I can’t push my frustrations upon you

For I'd be the one who's guilty

Of making you uncomfortable

And my reasoning would be faulty

I can't make you feel sorry

For me I am sure

For I am a good for nothing

And I have no allure

I can't be sorry for myself either

And maybe I need to, but I shan't

And if you ask me why I'll tell you

Simply that I can't

I can't be what you want me to

I can't tell you why

I can't do the things I want

I can't reach the sky

I can't live to your expectations

I can't be the best

I can't cause I have limitations

I can't put myself to rest

I can't sing

I can't dance

I can't run

I can't prance

I can't do this

I can't win

I can't speak

I can't sin

I can't do anything right

I can't live in all this plight

I can't try with all my might

I can't even sleep at night

Why do I feel this

How can I say

All of this pain should just fade away

But it can't, it can't

All of my problems

All of this blame

All of this because you came

And said “you can't”
