I Can't Songtext
Lassoing the sun for my Icarus
Shoulda let you get there on your own
It was easy it was innocent
At your window throwing stones

Our friends all told me that you'd ruin this
And you just had to prove em right
Is it easy acting innocent
You're smiling while you twist the knife
But I can't make you want me
I can't make you happy
I'd beg you on my knees and hands
To love me, but you can't

Told everyone that I moved on from it
That I'm good just being your friend
I'm guilty until proven innocent
You know I'm hangin by a thread

Seeing you around just brings it back again
Another party, another song
And even if it isn't about me baby
You know I'll always sing along

I can't make you want me
I can't make you happy but
I've tried everything I can
I can't love me for you
I can't make you want to
I'd beg you on my knees and hands
To love me, but you can't

You shoulda coulda woulda if you wanted to
You shoulda coulda woulda if you wanted to
Shoulda known better, but baby that could never be you
Shoulda coulda woulda if you wanted to

You shoulda coulda woulda if you wanted to
You shoulda coulda woulda if you wanted to
Shoulda known better, but baby that could never be you
Shoulda coulda woulda if you wanted to

And I can't make you want me
And I can't make you happy
I've tried everything I can
You would've if you wanted to
I can't love me for you
I can't make you want to
I'd beg you on my knees and hands
To love me, but you can't

You shoulda coulda woulda if you wanted to
You shoulda coulda woulda if you wanted to
Shoulda known better, but baby that could never be you
Shoulda coulda woulda if you wanted to
