If I Can't

Late night,

You’re on my mind.

But I don’t wanna pick up your call.

Your white lines make messy signs.

I might as well not listen at all.

Cos you’re not asking questions you want answers to,

And this is just a version of you.

Tonight I’ll pour my heart out till you fall asleep,

You’ll sweep away the pieces I ask you to keep…

Oh…

If I can’t be myself around you,

I’d rather not be round you at all.

If I can’t speak my heart around you,

I’d rather not be talking at all.

My friends say,

You’re bound to stray,

And that I’m running when you barely can crawl.

But I’m ok,

We’re cool today…

I probably shouldn’t listen at all….

Cos they’re not giving answers I asked questions to,

And they just know a version of you..

Last night you stroked my hair until I fell asleep…

They wanna see the worst in you,

Believe that I’m weak.

If I can’t be myself around them,

I’d rather not be round them at all,

If I can’t speak my heart around them,

I’d rather not be talking at all.

If I can’t be myself around you,

I’d rather not be round you at all.

If I can’t speak my heart around you,

I’d rather not be talking at all.

You fill me up half full,

Leaving the rest of me empty,

Give me a taste, purely just to tempt me…

I don’t wanna be your after thought,

I don’t wanna get caught up…

And it’s killing me, walking away,

But I don’t wanna lose another bit of me today,

I’m walking away, walking away, walking away.

If I can’t be myself around you,

I’d rather not be round you at all.

If I can’t speak my heart around you,

I’d rather not be talking at all.

If I can’t be myself around you,

I’d rather not be round you at all.
