I Can't Be

I can’t be

I can’t be with you

I can’t be where you can see me go through the pain

I can’t be what I need to be

To you

For you

With you.

I can’t let myself be myself

I’m not myself

The self that I can show you

I can’t be what I need to be

For you

For me.

I can’t not be me

For you to see

I can’t be what I need to be

For you

For me

But I see

Without you

I can’t be.
