I Just Can't by Jennifer Lynne Sison Rompon

i don't know
how to tell you this
i just can't
ruin it
i'm so scared
of what you'll say
look me in the eye
or walk away

i can't tell you the truth
i hide it
and deny it
i cry
but these silent tears
are never shown
i try
but i'll never tell you
i just can't

i feel like
if i tell you the truth i won't
be the same
you won't be the same
it's so complicated
it's so frustrating

i can't tell you the truth
i hide it
and deny it
i cry
but these silent tears
are never shown
i try
but i'll never tell you
i just can't

it doesn't feel right
lying to you
just to make you happy
it doesn't feel nice
telling you this
when i love you
when to you it's just friendship

i can't tell you the truth
i hide it
and deny it
i cry
but these silent tears
are never shown
i try
but i'll never tell you
i just can't

i want to
but i can't
i try to
but i know i won't
you don't know
and you'll never know
i love you
but you love her
it wasn't supposed to be like this but it is
i'll get over it
at least i'll try to
i need you
but she needs you more

i can't tell you the truth
i hide it
and deny it
i cry
but these silent tears
are never shown
i try
but i'll never tell you
i just can't
i just can't
i want to
i really do
but i can't
i just can't...
