I Can't

I can't be the person you want me to be
I won't confine myself to your standards

I can't make this work
I don't think I want to

I can't let you walk all over me
I won't go through that again

I can't love you
I don't know how to

I can't breathe after all that I've done
Maybe I never wanted to

I can't stop thinking about my mistakes
I won't regret what I've done

I can't stop saying I'm sorry
I'll never forgive myself

I can't look at you
Everything in me tells me to look away

I'm going to walk away
I can't live

But you knew that, didn't you?
