Lyrics
I Can't Lose Me
© 2013 Howard House/Paula Howard/Holli Casto----howardhousemusic@gmail.com
Last Night you called me/ from the bar, /said there were things / you needed to say./ I could tell/ you'd been drinkin',/ and 'courage from a bottle'/ was lightin' the way./ You said you needed more than I was givin',/ not bein' happy/ was no way to be livin'./ You thought maybe with some time, I would see things the way you do,/ I need to find the strength, to not give in this time to you
I've wrapped my life around you for so long, now it's over, how can that be? I can't un-love you, I can't un-care, but I can't give up on life, cause you're not there. Life goes on, although hard it may be. I can get over you in time, but I can't, I can't lose me, oh no, oh no
Time has passed, and out of the blue, "BOOM", I get a call from you./ You said "maybe if we both change a little", you 'd come back. what kind of deal is that?/ You want me to forget, and let you back in our bed, oh yea, just like you never left./ Well, you're not comin' back, we're not goin' there. We've reached our end, and we're done - my - friend./ I'll find the strength, to not give in ever again
I've wrapped my life around you for so long, now it's over, how can that be? I can't un-love you, I can't un-care, but I can't give up on life, cause you're not there. Life goes on, it's easier now that I see, I can get over you in time, but I can't, I can't lose me, oh no, oh no
Don't text me, write me, e-mail, or fax.../ No smoke signals, telephone, or telegraph.../ and pony express is out as well...as far as I'm concerned you can go straight to (hell!)...well, that may, sound harsh, but not, to my heart---I'm finally happy, and have a fresh new start./ I guess I should thank you, for making me see, that I can get over you, but I can't lose me! oh no, oh no, oh no
I've wrapped my life around you for so long, now it's over, how can that be? I can't un-love you, I can't un-care, but I can't give up on life, cause you're not there. Life goes on, and with my friends I agree, I can get over you in time, but I can't, I can't lose me. Oh no, oh no
