Why Can’t I Love You

How can we escape the silent walls that keep us in
I can't stand to see you in quiet pain
And to bear the wounds that cut so deep
Must our children weep
So I turn away my soul's restless sleep
Why can't I love you
Does it begin with me
So much to give you
How can we set it free
There's a need for you and a need for me
It's a mirrored truth that's so hard to see
Through the test of fire, the trials of war
Can we feel no more
All the sacrifices, please let us be
Why can't I love you
You can depend on me
Time for the healing
Through my tears now I can see
Why can't I love you
Does it begin with me
So much to give you
How can we set it free
Why can't I love you
You can depend on me
Time for the healing
Through my tears now I can see
