lyrics

Verse
I can't love you
Like you want me to
God knows, God knows I've tried

Blame it on
My wicked heart
I'm a victim of my pride
And it tears me up inside

Pre
Cause I want to let go
I want to know
What it is to be loved
But I'm more afraid
Of what it means
Of what it means to give up

Chorus
So I can't love you
Like you want me to
I can't love you

Verse
I can't let you go
Like you want me to
God knows, God knows I've tried

Blame it on
The hole in my heart
Be it wrong or be it right
I can't fight what I feel inside

Pre
Cause I want to let go
I want to know
What it is to be loved
But I'm more afraid
Of what it means
Of what it means to give up

Chorus
So I can't love you
Like you want me to
I can't love you

Bridge
Can't you see that my heart is bleeding out
I want to tell you but the words they won't come out
I wanna leave but you keep pulling me back in
In this game of hearts

Nobody wins, Nobody wins
When we keep circling around
Nobody wins, Nobody wins
When we can't sing out

Chorus
I can't love you
Like you want me to
I can't love you

God know's I try
