Lyrics

V1: I can't let myself love you
I can't let myself fly
I can't go to the well 'cause the well is dry
I don't want to daydream
If the dream can't come true
That's the reason why I can't let myself love you

Bridge 1: If you want me you know where to find me
If you need me you just have to call
But there's a catch to it all
If you come over or call
Better bring all of you 'cause half of you won't do

V2:: I just want to be honest
Let you know where I stand
If I don't love you it's not 'cause I don't want to
It's 'cause I can't

Bridge 2: I expect you to do what's right for you
Just like I need to do what's right for me
You may be fine loving me part-time
But what I've learned over time is I'm the all-in kind - and that's why

V3: I can't let myself love you
I can't let myself fly
I can't go to the well 'cause that well is dry
