Kathleen Gunderson - I Can't Lyrics

I've been seeing you walking, been hearing you talking
And while you haven't changed
Something's not the same
Because I would have been a best friend
Followed you to the deep end but I can't

You say you've been trying
Been hearing you're crying about your latest mistakes
The choices that you made
And I can fuel the hatred, but I can't stop the aching
'Cause I love you but I

I can't take your arms wide open, then pushing me away
The way you tell me how to feel
The fact that you don't think it's real
And I can't take the teasing
The leading on and hinting
The whisper in my head
That says you'll let me down again

Maybe when it's all over
And we're both much older
Then we can be friends
Somehow in the end
But somehow pretending
Was better than ending what we had

'Cause I can't take your arms wide open, then pushing me away
The way you tell me how to feel
The fact that you don't think it's real
And I can't take the teasing
The leading on and hinting
The whisper in my head
That says you'll let me down again

And I wonder what would happen if you ever even tried
Instead of leaving me here broken and denied
I would have taken all the bad
For just a little bit of good
I should have left you when I could

Cause I can't take these sick thoughts you put in my head
Your cold indifference in bed
You never meant a thing you said
Cause I can't take the way you used me
The way that you abused me
And even her

Cause I've been seeing you walking, been hearing you talking
And while you haven't changed
Nothing's quite the same
Because I would have been a best friend
Brought you back from the deep end but I
But I can't
But I can't
