I can't/I won't

I can't say that I haven't thought of you since,

And I can't lie and say I haven't thought of anything else but this,

But when you see my face in the hall,

You act like you don't know me at all,

And honey it's starting to take a toll,

On my already bent soul,

But I can't act like your face isn't the face that puts me to sleep,

And i can't pretend that the memories with you are ones i don't want to keep,

Ever since that one night on the floor,

I haven't felt anything more,

Despite what she may say,

I still want you today,

Are you happy?

Are you still confused?

Do you think of me?

Do you feel bruised?

I could show you the way,

I'd even let you stay the same,

If it's our love you will proclaim,

But till then I won't close my eyes,

when you walk by.

And I won't over react,

when you don't talk back.

No, I won't be what I was before.

I can't lie anymore.
