I Can't Fill You Up

Like water is how I feel

In a matter of time

You make me cold and transparent

And I wanna burst outside

After a short conversation

You've wrung me right out of you

You've filled me with doubt

About all that is mine

But I know the routine

You're gonna need me

At the end of the day

To say, "You're fine"

But I can't do it anymore

I can't fill you up

I have some of what it takes

But I don't have enough

Even when I try

You whittle me down

Even when I speak

You pretend there's no sound

I can't do it anymore

I'm like a blank piece of paper

I allow you to draw

Everything you could dream of

In hopes you might drop it all

And end this confusion

I detest that I'm in

Yeah, I hate every moment

But I always give in

'Cause I know the routine

You're gonna need me

At the end of the day

To say, "You're fine"

I can't do it anymore

I can't fill you up

I have some of what it takes

But I don't have enough

Even when I try

You whittle me down

Oh, even when I speak

You pretend there's no sound

I can't do it anymore

Oh, I can't do it anymore

Oh-oh-oh-oh

'Cause I know the routine

You're gonna need me

At the end of the day

I can't fill you up

I can't fill you up

I can't fill you up
