Couldn't Be

I do not want any of this right now

So I'm looking ahead, and I'm pushing through

And I wonder if you'll agree it's overdue

Time enough will pass for this all to heal

But time's thinking instead, I'll keep seeing you

Every distant silhouette transforms in front of me

Moved all your things out of our old place

Drove down in silence, to move them in for you

You invited me in, I guess I'll never see him again

Sat down beside me, then said

"Why're you feeling so distant?

Look me in the eyes, don't hide your face in front of me

I know one day you'll find her

I hope she'll be for you, everything I couldn't be"

You'd made a list of questions that you had

Seeking some closure, an exit interview

Left your arms and closed the door

To the car and turned the key

I can make me something more

But I needed more from me

Couldn't do this anymore

'Cause I needed more from me

"Why're you feeling so distant?

Look me in the eyes, don't hide your face in front of me

I know one day you'll find her

I hope she'll be for you, everything I couldn't be

Everything I couldn't be"
