"I Can't" lyrics

I've got the thunder in my bones, I've got the trouble in my soul
Drowning in tears my eyes were too proud to cry
I hear you knockin' at my door, but I can't open it no more
'Cause this heart's half full of rain and risin' high
Sometimes all that you can do is just survive

I can't row you across right now
I can't row you across right now
I'm too busy building a bridge
I can't throw you a line right now
I can't throw you a line right now
I'm too busy tryin' to live

I've been a fool for holding on, I've been a fool for being strong
I've been a fool for love and I'll be a fool again
As soon as the rain stops pouring down, as soon as I find some higher ground
I'll be good as new but I can't tell you when
So, just keep on striking matches until then... 'cause

I can't burn you a flame right now
I can't burn you a flame right now
I'm too busy seeing the light
I can't lift you up right now
I can't lift you up right now
I'm too busy tryin' to fly

Let go the anchor let go the chain
Don't reach for me and don't call my name
Shake off the past and baby just swim for the shore
Blow me a kiss and hope for the best
Wish what you will, take what you get
Do what you want but I can't save you no more

I got the thunder in my bones, I got the trouble in my soul
Drownin' in tears my eyes were too proud to cry
And I can't whisper a prayer right now
I can't whisper a prayer right now
I'm too busy baby, sayin' goodbye

Let go the anchor let go the chain
Don't reach for me and don't call my name
Shake off the past and baby just swim for the shore
Blow me a kiss and hope for the best
Wish what you will, take what you get
Do what you want but I can't save you no more
