Lyrics

YOU CANNOT GIVE THE GRIEF AWAY

I haven’t had it in me
The energy to care
The lethargy took over
Now it’s hard just being there

I’ve never felt a heartache
That wouldn’t slip away
Eventually when I stopped
Counting my mistakes

And how could I not know
What I had when I had it?
Don’t want to let you go
Or break the spell at all
And I suppose it goes to show

When someone you have loved from
The beginning starts to fade
As you lose your sense of purpose
And lose your pride of place
YOU CANNOT GIVE THE GRIEF AWAY

I haven’t had it in me
So I’ll pretend you chose to stay

And how could I not know
What I had when I had it?
I don’t want to let you go
Or break the spell at all
And I suppose it goes to show

Why I haven’t had it in me
The energy to care
The lethargy took over
It’s so hard just being there

I haven’t had it in me
YOU CANNOT GIVE THE GRIEF AWAY
So I’ll pretend you’ll choose to stay
