lyrics
Analyrical:
You said I can't do this
I said yes we can
Now I'm feeling foolish
Walking with an empty hand
I felt every single cry in your whisper
I felt pain on the day you spoke
I was never a very good listener
Too busy making jokes
Too wrapped up in my own life
My health, and my music too
I wanted sex, but none of the rest
You left, cuz that's what you needed to do
I should have stayed focus, should've known what I had
But the promise of a different life tore me from that
I laid tracks, laid hearts, made art, made path
Strange marks, they mask, pain as, plain dark
Shadows in my sunrise, Battles for my fun time
But any second not working just another crunch I
Hold close to thought of a get back
Forget that, the impact's a big crash
You said I can't do this
I said yes we can
Now I'm feeling foolish
Walking with an empty hand
I never learned how to make you happy
I need to learn how to show my self
I need to learn how to be a better boyfriend
But sometimes love is like
What I wanted was a half-way game show
The hope with none of the results
The orange juice without the pulp
The light of room without the bulb
The push of free, without the pull
But now it's me, and here I sulk
The past is a beacon, a lesson-filled demon
But use all of the teachings and then keep proceeding
Leading your own trip, pack your life safely
A mountain is a grip, don't climb it at breakspeed
Take heed, Take warning or take nothing at all
But don't kid yourself that emotions aren't involved
We live our lives with heavy hearts
Measured parts of give and take
Get a chance, make a stand
And let it play
Don't say what you feel then how can you complain
Cuz being real is only real coming from your veins
The secret of a courtship, is just that a secret
Each person you date gets a shot to reveal it
You said I can't do this
I said yes we can
Now I'm feeling foolish
Walking with an empty hand
I never learned how to make you happy
I need to learn how to show my self
I need to learn how to be a better boyfriend
But sometimes love is like poison
It's too hard to suck out the poison
It's too hard to trust in you
But all this hurt I've been avoiding
I grabbed on and busted through
I made flowers out of shit on a dark day
I built happiness without any armstrength
I found joy in the fact I breathe
And you can never take that away from me!!!
