Lyrics

I Can?t Do It Anymore

Well, the evening star was falling
So I made a wish for you
And I wished that you?d be happy
And I wished you?d trust me too

I used to feel your warmth surround me
Now you?re all these worlds away
We were one fine, perfect soul
Now there ain?t a lot to say

Because I?m tired of changing
To try to please you
I?m tired of changing
I can?t do it anymore?
Tired of changing
I can?t do it anymore?

Well I honed the very scissor
For my silver-lipped Delilah
And I really love my haircut, I swear?

I read a good book
There?s a passage where it said;
"Don?t expect to split the difference
Till you learn to break the bread"

And I?m tired of changing
To try to please you
I?m tired of changing
I can?t do it anymore?
Tired of changing
I can?t do it anymore?

I made a promise to you
Made the same one to me too, yeah-
To never go away?
I?ve gotta keep one end or the other
So sugar, if you want to be my lover
Stop breaking my heart?
Stop telling me what to say?

And if I don't quite fit the picture
Have the heart to walk away...

Because I?m tired of changing
To try to please you
I?m tired of changing
I can?t do it anymore?
Tired of changing
I can?t do it anymore?
