Can’t Keep This

Verse 1

I really like you, I can’t pretend,

Been happy with us, I don’t want it to end.

But I didn’t see it going this deep,

Now my heart’s awake when it should be asleep.

Pre-Chorus

You give so much, and it’s sweet, I know,

But my feelings don’t fit the rules we wrote.

Chorus

‘Cause it’s hard to hold you and stay detached,

Hard to love softly and not get attached.

I know it can’t be more than this,

But I can’t keep pretending I’m fine with it.

You’re kind, you give, you make it hard to resist,

But I can’t keep this, I can’t keep this.

Verse 2

I’m trying not to drown in what we made,

Every little touch makes it harder to stay safe.

You offer your help, you give me things,

But my heart wants more than what that means.

Pre-Chorus

I’m sensitive — yeah, I feel too much,

And I don’t want to mistake your care for love.

Chorus

‘Cause it’s hard to hold you and stay detached,

Hard to love softly and not get attached.

I know it can’t be more than this,

But I can’t keep pretending I’m fine with it.

You’re kind, you give, you make it hard to resist,

But I can’t keep this, I can’t keep this.

Bridge

You didn’t promise forever, I know,

But I caught feelings where they weren’t supposed to grow.

So I’m stepping back before I lose my way,

You’ll always mean something — I just can’t stay.

Chorus

‘Cause it’s hard to hold you and stay detached,

Hard to love softly and not get attached.

You’re kind, you give, you make it hard to resist,

But I can’t keep this…

No, I can’t keep this.
