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
