I Can’t lyrics
by Bartees Strange
Look at us
Who would’ve ever thought
I would leave your city for good
The two of us
I can count on one hand
The times you’ve reached out since then
All the times that you told them
That i was insane
I never met your little sister
But i remember her name
What caused your sudden change in perspective?
A true change of heart
Or fear of consequences?
You’ve delivered your message
A real stellar work
Not at all like the others
Those miserable j*rks
You’re saying everything i’ve ever wanted to hear
But only after being told to
It’s never been more clear
I can’t forgive you
I’ve learned how to live without your judgment and shame
Can’t believe there was a time where i thought i lost something
Left my molted layers and uncovered my wings
I’m in love with myself now
Can you say the same?
You’ve delivered your message
A real stellar work
Not at all like the others
Those bast*rds and j*rks
You’re saying everything i’ve ever wanted to hear
It didn’t have to be like this
But now it’s never been more clear
I can’t forgive you
The whole world has bent to your
Will for so long
You’ve never been the bad guy
You’ve never been wrong
Crack my worth like a code
You thought it’d be easy
The right sequence of words
Your war strategy
Well i changed the locks
It’s been so long i forget when
You will never hurt me again
I can’t forgive you
