A theme for the entire Let Tears Be Diamonds EP is accepting the discomfort of change, and Lover I Can’t really speaks to that – recognizing evolution’s long overdue and sort of saying goodbye to my previous life, my old self.
(Verse)
I don't care who you are, you can decide
Lost in the world, sheltered in mystery
A lilt in the lullaby left in the lie
Say what you will
Just say you won't leave me
(Chorus)
Lover I can't deceive you
Lover I can't wish you away
Lover I can't pretend to inspire you
When I can't claim this world no more
This world no more
(Verse)
Or maybe some silhouette ghost in the night
Long on the floor, to slide through an open door
In broken and beautiful angel's disguise
That no one else sees
So no one believes me
(Chorus)
Lover I can't deceive you
Lover I can't wish you away
Lover I can't pretend to inspire you
When I can't claim this world no more
This world no more
(Bridge)
I get lost in here sometimes
I get lost in here sometimes
I get lost in here sometimes
(Chorus)
Lover I can't deceive you
Lover I can't wish you away
Lover I can't pretend to inspire you
When I can't claim this world no more
This world no more
This world no more
