I DON'T THINK I CAN
© by David Llewellyn & Cindy Greene

I'm looking out the kitchen door, starin' at the stars
I just put the last two boxes in the back seat of my car
I'm tryin' to convince myself that I don't give a damn
I wish I could, but I don't think I can

Can't get this cup of coffee past the lump that's in my throat
Gotta keep my hands from shaking, long enough to write this note
Sayin' I did all I could short of changing who I am
Oh, I wish I could, but I don't think I can

Bridge
God knows we tried to make this right
No two hearts could've fought a better fight

I wish that I could take the hurt, I'm gonna leave behind
But just like everything we've shared, now half is yours and half is mine
And how it all came down to this, I just don't understand
I wish I could, but I don't think I can

Inst. over Bridge

It's almost dawn and some sweet dream lingers on your face
I long to slip in next to you and one more time feel your embrace
And just forget I ever wrote this letter in my hand
I wish I could, but I don't think I can
I wish I could, but I don't think I can
I wish I could, but I don't think I can
