I Can't |
| This ain’t the life I thought I’d live |
| This ain’t the home I’d hoped we’d make |
| This ain’t the path I thought I chose |
| This ain’t the sky I’d hoped we’d see |
| This ain’t the tree I thought would grow |
| This ain’t the god to which I pray |
| This ain’t the song I thought I’d write |
| These ain’t the words I want to say |
| But I can’t be your man |
| This ain’t the flag I thought we’d raise |
| This ain’t the wind I’d hoped would blow |
| This ain’t the ship I thought would sail |
| This ain’t the rose I’d hoped would bloom |
| This ain’t the play I thought we’d stage |
| These ain’t the hills I’d hoped we’d roam |
| This ain’t the sword pulled from the lake |
| Yours ain’t the heart I want to break |
| But I can’t be your man |
| This ain’t the end I thought it’d be |
| Are you someone I’ve loved before? |
| In this the song the caged bird sings? |
| Is there some law I choose to ignore? |
| This is a faith I must defend |
| I’ve tried, I can’t pretend |
| There is a hope I must contend |
| We’ll find the thread with the strength to mend |
| But I can’t be your man |
| Least not this time around |
| And it’s something unpredictable |
| Like where a leaf might fall |
| And it’s something unrestrainable |
| Like a rooster’s morning call |
| I can’t be your man |
