[Verse 1]
This ain't a twenty minute town no more
It don't look the same
Red lights, bars, streets, too much concrete
I don't recognize a thing
Ain't a twenty minute call no more
No, you don't call me at all
Outside, a rain falls, curtains half drawn
I'm here, talking to the walls
[Chorus]
All the time and the whiskey I've wasted
That I ain't ever getting back
And I've tried to find the courage just to face it
But I can't, I can't
And I'm tired of you feeling like a stranger
Over and over again
Oh, when everything around me keeps changing
But I can't, I can't, I can't
[Verse 2]
It feels impossible to move sometimes
Like you're still in the room
Smoke on my breath, chains on my chest
Damn, you won't cut me loose
I just gotta get out of here
Get up off of the floor
Find my senses 'cause you meant it
You're not coming back no more
[Chorus]
All the time and the whiskey I've wasted
That I ain't ever getting back
Oh, I've tried to find the courage just to face it
But I can't, I can't
And I'm tired of you feeling like a stranger
Over and over again
Oh, when everything around me keeps changing
But I can't, I can't, I can't
Oh, I can't, I can't
[Chorus]
All the time and the whiskey I've wasted
That I ain't ever getting back
I've tried to find the courage just to face it
But I can't
Yeah, I'm tired of you feeling like a stranger
Over and over again
Oh, when everything around me keeps changing
But I can't, I can't, I can't
[Post-Chorus]
No, I can't, I can't (As hard as I try, as hard as I try, I can't)
(As hard as I try, as hard as I try, I can't) I can't, I can't
Oh, I can't (As hard as I try, as hard as I try, I can't)
(As hard as I try, as hard as I try)
I Can’t was written by Steve Wilson & Caitlyn Smith & Ben West.
I Can’t was produced by Leggy Langdon.
Caitlyn Smith released I Can’t on Fri Mar 13 2020.
A lot of my inspiration for the songs that I was writing for this record has to do with looking in the mirror and changing, becoming a better version of yourself. Sometimes it comes with setting up boundaries and saying goodbye to people. I think ‘I Can't’ is all about that. Especially when you’re l...
