I Can't Tell

These are the last ten mintues before you go And what could I tell you, I don't know Your bag is packed you've got your raincoat on You're still here but your love is gone Now I could lock you in a cage and throw away the key I could put you on an island with sharks in the sea I could tie you up put a leash around your neck But it doesn't make sense to hold you back Because like . . . I can't tell the sun to shine in the night I can't tell the moon to warm up it's light I can't tell the summer forever to stay I can't tell your love not to fade away Like I can't the clouds to stop the rain I can't tell the ocean to swallow my pain I can't tell the time to bring back yesterday I can't tell your love not to fade away You look out of the window into the night I know there is someone waitin' outside It's too late to fight I can't even cry Nothing can stop your last goodbye Now I could put you in chains or build a chinese wall Could kiss you night and day no one will hear you call I could pay the police to keep you in town But if love wants to fly you can't keep it down Because like . . . I can't tell the sun to shine in the night I can't tell the moon to warm up it's light I can't tell the summer forever to stay I can't tell your love not to fade away Like I can't the clouds to stop the rain I can't tell the ocean to swallow my pain I can't tell the time to bring back yesterday Like I can't tell your love not to fade away (oh no) And now when you close the door it won't change anything anymore I felt the million miles between us, long before And now when you close the door it won't change anything anymore I felt the million miles between us, long before (long before...) And now when you close the door it won't change anything anymore I felt the million miles between us, long before
