Lyrics
You Can't Count On Me (Thin Ice) Words & Music by: Bruce Garnitz
Walkin' on thin ice, I think it's melting
On thin ice, I don't know why
You couldn't be colder if you stood in a freezer
I could leave but I'm standing by so confused
You're overreacting, No clue to
What someone before put you through
You can't count on me
To take you to that place of pain
You can't count on me
To tear you down, gonna break this chain... Gonna break this chain
Walkin' on thin ice, hear it cracklin'
On thin ice, about to break
Your talkin' trash, to your friends who don't know me
This crazy test is one others have taken and failed
Packed up their baggage and bailed
True to the pattern turned tail
You can't count on me
To take you to that place of pain
You can't count on me
To tear you down, gonna break this chain... Gonna break this chain
All the drama you got from your mama is somethin' you've never repaired or replaced
All the men in your past you can leave them at last like toxic emotional waste
There's a sweetness within that I'd like to begin to bring to the surface right now
I hope you understand I'm not that other man and this cycle will stop if you don't wear me out!
Walkin' on thin ice, am I out of danger?
On thin ice, it's holdin' firm
You're lookin' at me, and it's not in anger
This could be real, imagine a world we would share
If you believe that I care
But just so you're not unaware...
You can't count on me
To take you to that place of pain
You can't count on me
To tear you down, gonna break it (Repeat Chorus)
You can't count on me, You can't count on me, You can't count on me...
I'm gonna break this chain
