I Just Can’t Love You

[Verse 1]
If you ask how I feel
You give me chills
Emotions reveal
When wounds start to heal
Deliver me from fear
So thankful that you're here
It's good to know you care
'Cause I was unaware
I've got my flaws
Built up my walls
Look so damn tall
Don't climb and fall
In love and war
Don't risk it all
You deserve more
Than I can afford

[Pre-Chorus]
I swear on my mama
You're like a diamond
You shine regardless
Don't let me tarnish
All that you're worth
Wait for my hurt
Wish this could work
I just can't love you
It's hard to love myself
I never told nobody else
But I could use some help

[Verse 2]
I should have told you the truth
That I needed you
More than I never knew
Long as I wasn't acting a fool
Ignoring the rules
Doing what I do
Break a heart and move
On to someone new
I never learned my lesson
'Til I lost my blessing
You were a treasure I could've treasured, but I
You were all that mattered
When my words would shatter
Entertained distraction
Should've never happened

[Pre-Chorus]
I swear on my mama
You're like a diamond
You shine regardless
Don't let me tarnish
All that you're worth
Wait for my hurt
This really won't work

[Chorus]
'Cause I just can't love you
It's hard to love myself
I never told nobody else
'Cause I just can't love you
It's hard to love myself
I never told nobody else
I could use some help
