Jeff Bates I Can`t Write That Lyrics

I Can`t Write That Lyrics

I make my living with paper and pencil, and an old guitar

I use melody and words that rhyme to tug at other's hearts

But mine is still too tender, to put her on a page

'Cause I'd have to remember the day she went away



I can't write that, I'd have to sing it

And if I sung it, I'd have to live it

And if I lived it, it would kill me

'Cause she ain't ever comin' back

And that's too sad, I can't write that



I know memories last forever whenever you put 'em in a song

But I can't take the chance that this one would be a big one

And they'd play it on and on, 'cause when it comes to her love

I get choked up and break down, these feelings are just to much

To share with you right now



And I can't write that, I'd have to sing it

And if I sung it, I'd have to live it

And if I lived it, it would kill me

'Cause she ain't ever comin' back

And that's so sad, I can't write that



She ain't ever comin' back

And that's too sad, I can't write that
