I can't keep rebuilding everything you tear down I can't keep fixing everything you break I can't keep restoring everything you destroy I can't keep solving the problem you have you can't keep borrowing and never pay back I can't keep leaving and keep coming back you can't keep calling in the middle of the night to hear me say it's gone be alright it's the same old story I heard it a thousand times and I keep listening to it every time you act like I don't have tears to fall down I can't keep on wiping your eyes I told you that a thousand times underneath my breath a thousand times I lied to myself a thousand times I can't stand to see you hurt I can't stand to see you cry I can't stand to know the truth and you know the reason why I can't help myself from helping you I can't stand to know the reason why you can't help yourself from hurting me it's a secret it must be kept under the rug it must be swept only heaven knows the hell I'm in I keep a alter ego bottled in all it takes is a swallow to aappear I must be sober to be your destinate driver you can't keep going under the influence I can't keep getting cuff bailing you out every time you fall in I can't keep falling in behind you every time we fight you can't always win and I can't always lose one day surely you're going to die and I ain't even going to cry it's always something up with you you're like breaking news life with you is but a song I keep turning it into a poem that I keep writing long after you're gone
