I Can't

I've been seeing you walking, been hearing you talking And while you haven't changed Something's not the same Because I would have been a best friend Followed you to the deep end but I can't You say you've been trying Been hearing you're crying about your latest mistakes The choices that you made And I can fuel the hatred, but I can't stop the aching 'Cause I love you but I I can't take your arms wide open, then pushing me away The way you tell me how to feel The fact that you don't think it's real And I can't take the teasing The leading on and hinting The whisper in my head That says you'll let me down again Maybe when it's all over And we're both much older Then we can be friends Somehow in the end But somehow pretending Was better than ending what we had 'Cause I can't take your arms wide open, then pushing me away The way you tell me how to feel The fact that you don't think it's real And I can't take the teasing The leading on and hinting The whisper in my head That says you'll let me down again And I wonder what would happen if you ever even tried Instead of leaving me here broken and denied I would have taken all the bad For just a little bit of good I should have left you when I could Cause I can't take these sick thoughts you put in my head Your cold indifference in bed You never meant a thing you said Cause I can't take the way you used me The way that you abused me And even her Cause I've been seeing you walking, been hearing you talking And while you haven't changed Nothing's quite the same Because I would have been a best friend Brought you back from the deep end but I But I can't But I can't
