I Can't

( Lunch Break Blues )

I Can't 

I can't breathe

I can't eat

I can't sleep 

I can't think

I can't leave 

I can't stay

I can't scream

But 

I can't be silent 

I can't wait

I can't hide

I can't lie

I can't cry

I can't die

I can't live

I can't give

I can't take

I can't feel

I can't speak

I can't sing

Yet your lyrics 

Play at my fingertips 

Reciting

Feed me 

Need me

Hear me

Want me too 

Somehow 

I can't win

I can't lose

I can't take you

Out of my thoughts 

Asleep or awake

I can't see 

Me 

Without 

You

I can't
