I Can't Stop - Laakso

Tired of impressing, tired of proving

Myself to people that I tought already knew me

Tired of nights with none of us sleeping

I’m tired in the mornings, tired in the evenings

Tired of impressing, tired of proving

Myself to people that I tought already knew me

Tired of showing off, tired of trying

Nothing’s for sure and nothing’s for granted

Tired of taking back instead of having

Tired of giving with you never sharing

Tired of coming home after working

To an empty house with no one to talk to

Tired of nights with none of that sleeping

I’m tired in the mornings tired, in the evenings

Tired of telling myself «you can do it»

Talking to myself just as if I knew things

Tired of spending time with my cellphone

And messages you sent me ages ago

Nostalgia strikes with strange powers

Step by step and hour by hour

Things I used to know ain’t easy no more

Step by step is how I go on

I try to remember how I thought

How I did when I was on top of things

Relieved to see another morning sun

Day by day is how I go on

Night by night they come to me

The demons to remind me of great grief

Of how I earned all this

Of how the reason to all this is me, me, me

Even if I never disagree

Sometimes it’s more than I can take

And I break and I break and I fall apart

After night comes light then another night

It starts again, the poisoning of my mind

It starts again, the slowing of time

The ease of things just happening

It’s gone, gone, gone

It’s never been more gone

Giving up, giving up, really giving up

Could stop all this but I can’t

No matter how many you tell me

No matter how hard you try to convince me

I can’t stop, I can’t stop, I can’t stop, I can’t

Oh tears, tears, tears, more worthless tears

They do nothing but tear down what I’ve built

I’ve always seen the end of all bad things

But this time is the first time

Oh yeah this time is the first time

That I’ve been thinking of giving up on life

Oh yeah this time is the first time

That I’ve been thinking of giving up on life

But I can’t!
