Can't stand the thought of you
tell me what happened to
our love's serenity
I drop the ball with everything

my dear, you animal
took all I'd asked you for
and hung it over my head
said you wished me better dead

so I'll just protect myself
I won't ask for no one's help
I'm panicked, I'm panicked
I got me baby no one else

I love you
let me leave
you baby let me go

I'm sorry
that I couldn't
I couldn't make you whole

I love you
let me leave you
let me go
I'm sorry
that I couldn't
I couldn't make you whole

why can't I let you be
you're stuck in front of me
I try to let it go
forgiveness keeps evading me

if time would pardon us
bring back our hearts from dust
like they were when love was a dream
something we could hope to see

so I'll just protect myself
I won't ask for no one's help
I'm panicked, I'm panicked
I got me baby no one else

I love you
let me leave
you baby let me go

I'm sorry
that I couldn't
I couldn't make you whole

I love you
let me leave you
let me go
I'm sorry
that I couldn't
I couldn't make you whole
