I Just Can't

Honey, what new chemicals are calming you now
For every night you can’t block out
For every time they held you down?
But there will always be a shadow eating at you
Some fresh darkness screaming loud
And you’ll still be so goddamn proud
«Baby, you run on gasoline, I run on empty
Yeah, beat that, beat that
You run on gasoline, I run on empty
Yeah, beat that, beat that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.»
And you were once young poetry, simple and pure
But you said, «Pure? Pure? Nothing is anymore.»
Yeah, you said, «Pure? Oh, pure. Nothing is anymore.»
Yeah, you said, «Pure? Pure? Nothing is anymore
There are no unopened doors that we’re still searching for
The pain always becomes too much to ignore.»
You said, «Pure? Pure? Nothing is anymore.»
Once I thought that was true, but now it’s tearing through you
And I just can’t. I just can’t
«You run on gasoline, I run on empty
Yeah, beat that, beat that
You run on gasoline, I run on empty
Yeah, beat that, beat that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.»
You said, «Pure? Oh, pure. Nothing is anymore.»
