lyrics
there must be something about january,
my hands are cold and it turns you away
there must be something about the way to love you
the harder i try, the less you have to say
i could never tell you, but i can’t be myself like this
you can try to tell me that god would tell a lie,
when he sends you a message you know it’s never wrong
you can try to tell me our high school hearts are broken
but new year’s morning we woke up with love still strong
i could never tell you, but i can’t be myself like this
i can try to tell you to do what’s right for you,
take a breath and take some time
i can try to tell you to decide on your own
but i’ve never successfully turned out a lie alone
just this once i’ll tell you, i can’t be myself like this
i know i need to change, or maybe rearrange, but either way i’m thankful for your time
i could pay you by the hour in gummy sharks and flowers but either way, it’d work out fine
just this once i’ll tell you, i can’t be myself like this
please let my words compell you, i can’t be myself like this
