Can a man be so blind
That this vision can't be mine
'cause the shore won't draw the line
When water rides in with the tide
And for once I am driftin'
But not on my own
And now I'm right
I should've been
Here with you all alone
I've been meaning to leave
All those nights I was weak
I gave up while you held it down
You're still here but I know
That your heart's gettin' cold
I'm holdin' tight
It's gettin' real now
'cause I can't lose you
'cause I care for you
I can't lose you
I care for you
I care for you
I care for you
Sometimes I don't ask for help
And you don't wanna open up
And when you see my tears right now
You want me to clean 'em up
All these hateful words
Usin' them to stab me
Even though it hurts
You can throw 'em at me baby
It takes a man to admit
He messed up
But girl you gotta be fair
'cause I can't lose you
'cause I care for you
I can't lose you
I care for you
I care for you
I care for you yeah
I've been meaning to leave
All those nights I was weak
And you held it down
You're still here but I know
That your heart is gettin' cold
It's gettin' real now
All these hateful words
Usin' them to stab me
Even though it hurts
You can throw 'em at me
'cause I can't lose you baby
I can't lose you
'cause I care for you
I can't lose you
I care for you
I care for you
I care for you yeah
