No I can't (lyrics)

You crossed the line,

the line in my head.

Running in time,

from the words that you’ve said.

And now you’re waiting, waiting for me to come all undone.

But the swing set’s chains are winding, winding up instead.

To say I love you, love you,

but I can’t, can’t, can’t.

No I can’t, can’t, can’t, can’t.

You’re so cold, cold, cold.

Mmm, mmm, mmm,

Growing old, old, old.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Erase these chain links pushing the breath right out of me.

Fading, fading and you’re breaking down.

It’s complicated!  Because I just can’t say it.

You’re going down, down, down.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Growing old, old, old.

Mmm, mmm mmm.

You crossed the line,

at the state divide.

Running in time,

from the words I should have said.

To say I love you, love you,

but I can’t, can’t, can’t.

No I can’t, can’t, can’t, can’t.

I stand at the lines,

big thick lines I can’t hide.

Frozen in time,

They never grow old.

Say I love you, love you,

But I can’t, can’t can’t.

No I can’t, can’t, can’t, can’t.


Say I love you, love you,
but you can't, can't, can't, can't.
No you can't, can't, can't, can't.


Say I love you.
Say I love you.
