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 |
