I wrote this song with Al Shux. He played me the guitar loop and I totally fell in love with it. It just instantly sent me to this melancholic headspace. It’s definitely a sad song but it sounds so peaceful, which felt right for the story. It feels like even though it’s difficult to let go, I’m fina...
[Verse 1]
Don't ask me where I have been
No I can't, no I can't let you in
No, don't tell me you've changed since then
If you've been bad before, you'll be bad again
[Pre-Chorus]
But then I feel the pressure whenever you're close to me
You're drawing letters on me with your fingertips
I want to let ya, but I know what that does to me
I gotta make it stop
[Chorus]
Say ooh, can't let you break the rules
It can't be you, ooh
I'll find somebody new
It can't be you, but ooh
I miss the way you move
No one knows me like you
Though I hate it, it's the truth
It can't be you
[Post-Chorus]
It can't be you
It can't be you
It can't be you
It can't be you
[Verse 2]
Don't bring up your family now
Say they ask about me, I should go round
I shoulda told them all about what you've done
Why would I believe that you're still in love?
[Pre-Chorus]
But then I feel the pressure whenever you're close to me
You're drawing letters on me with your fingertips
I want to let ya, but I know what that does to me
I gotta make it stop
[Chorus]
Say ooh, can't let you break the rules
It can't be you, ooh
I'll find somebody new
It can't be you, but ooh
I miss the way you move
No one knows me like you
Though I hate it, it's the truth
It can't be you
[Post-Chorus]
It can't be you
It can't be you
It can't be you
It can't be you
