I Can and I Will

He drove me to the water

And I didn't even swim

He wanted me to have some fun

And I'm sorry, I meant to, I did

And it's hard to believe it's still

The beautiful thing that it is

I wanted to be everything

And I will, 'cause I want it still

And it's alright, and nothing calms down

As hard as I try with my feet on the ground

I buried my teeth in everything good

And it didn't save me like I thought it would

♪

I can't write anymore

I have a shadow over my door

And it's not kind anymore

It doesn't love me like before

And I don't cry anymore

Except when I do, which is most nights

And I'll try not to lie anymore

Or call it a symptom of fight or flight

Wish I didn't take the money when I did

Wish I didn't hate the city in mid July

Think I must've been somebody at some time

But you promise you can see me and you don't lie

But this is not mine anymore

It's giving you time like it always will

I don't wanna die anymore

There are hands to be held and drinks to be spilled

And I can and I will

You stand in the kitchen, making me still

'Cause I can and I will

I can and I will

I can and I will (and it's alright if nothing calms down)

I can and I will (as long as I try with my feet on the ground)

I can and I will (I buried my teeth and did everything good)

I can and I will (but it didn't save me like I thought it would)

I can and I will

I can and I will
