just like i can't

all of my dreams

burst like a bubble

leavin' me with nothing

but a whole lotta trouble

i'm tempted to just close my eyes

pretend it ain't real

but pretendin' to be blind

won't change the way i feel

a waste of my time

like tap water runnin' down the drain

didn't get to fill my cup

and now i'm the one insane

i can't think of a name you

didn't call me

but when you said it was worse than her

that did it for me

and just like i can't

turn night into day

just like i can't

tell the ocean to obey

just like i can't stop a river

from runnin' into the sea

i can never make you love me

and sure i could tell you

all the things you'd like to hear

paint the perfect picture

step up a gear

tlak a certain kind of way

act like a real lady

but that won't change

the way you feel for me

i could dress up every day

and even dye my hair

but you won't notice

'cause you don't even care

pay your phone bills

buy you new shoes

but i can't love me

the way i love you

and just like i can't

turn night into day

just like i can't

tell the ocean to obey

just like i can't stop a river

from runnin' into the sea

i can never make you love me

never

never

never
