What can I do to make you understand?
I know that your heart is filled with good intent.
I know that you worry
and I know that you care
but it's too much to bear.
What can I say to make it all okay?
I'm not trying to push you away.
You ask me these questions
and I answered before
but it's not what you're looking for.
You see only what you want to.
But if you love, you'd set me free.
There are some things I have to figure out.
But I can't tell you what it's all about.
I have to face it and face it alone.
That's just how it goes.
Always feels like an uphill climb but I'm
asking you just one more time.
It's not a betrayal. It's what I need.
Can't you just concede?
You see only what you want to.
But if you love, you'd set me free.
Please set me free.
What can I do?
What can I do?
