I met you at the restaurant on East and 45

I felt my hands start shaking, I couldn't look you in the eyes

You asked me, "What's the matter? You've never looked so terrified," hm-mm

Well, it's all those nights I stayed awake

Every compromise only I would make

I tried to hold us both together, I tried

Don't wanna break your heart, but I keep breaking mine

Oh, I can't love you and love me at the same time

I wanna fix it all, but I can't save both sides

Oh, I can't love you and love me at the same time

I wanna love, I wanna love, I wanna love you

I wanna love, I wanna love, I wanna love you

I wanna love, I wanna love, I wanna love you

Oh, I can't love you and love me at the same time

I wish that it was simple, that it was someone's fault

When both of us are slipping, it's always me who takes the fall

Is it self-preservation, or is it just self-sabotage? Hm-mm

Well, it's all those nights I stayed awake

Every compromise only I would make

I tried to hold us both together, I tried

Don't wanna break your heart, but I keep breaking mine

Oh, I can't love you and love me at the same time

I wanna fix it all, but I can't save both sides

Oh, I can't love you and love me at the same time

I wanna love, I wanna love, I wanna love you

I wanna love, I wanna love, I wanna love you

I wanna love, I wanna love, I wanna love you

Oh, I can't love you and love me at the same time

So, go your own way, and I'll go mine

(Oh, I can't love you and love me at the same time)

I know you won't change, and neither can I

(Oh, I can't love you and love me at the same time)

So, go your own way, and I'll go mine

(Oh, I can't love you and love me at the same time)

I know you won't change, and neither can I

(Oh, I can't love you and love me at the same time)
