I Can't Stop (Laakso)

Tired of impressing, tired of proving Myself to people that I tought already knew me Tired of nights with none of us sleeping I'm tired in the mornings, tired in the evenings Tired of impressing, tired of proving Myself to people that I tought already knew me Tired of showing off, tired of trying Nothing's for sure and nothing's for granted Tired of taking back instead of having Tired of giving with you never sharing Tired of coming home after working To an empty house with no one to talk to Tired of nights with none of that sleeping I'm tired in the mornings tired, in the evenings Tired of telling myself "you can do it" Talking to myself just as if I knew things Tired of spending time with my cellphone And messages you sent me ages ago Nostalgia strikes with strange powers Step by step and hour by hour Things I used to know ain't easy no more Step by step is how I go on I try to remember how I thought How I did when I was on top of things Relieved to see another morning sun Day by day is how I go on Night by night they come to me The demons to remind me of great grief Of how I earned all this Of how the reason to all this is me, me, me Even if I never disagree Sometimes it's more than I can take And I break and I break and I fall apart After night comes light then another night It starts again, the poisoning of my mind It starts again, the slowing of time The ease of things just happening It's gone, gone, gone It's never been more gone Giving up, giving up, really giving up Could stop all this but I can't No matter how many you tell me No matter how hard you try to convince me I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't Oh tears, tears, tears, more worthless tears They do nothing but tear down what I've built I've always seen the end of all bad things But this time is the first time Oh yeah this time is the first time That I've been thinking of giving up on life Oh yeah this time is the first time That I've been thinking of giving up on life But I can't!
