It was a weight on my shoulders A strain on my back But I loved to have you right there by my side (You couldn't take it, you couldn't take it) It used to be when we were alone We shared such beautiful moments But lately it's been such a mess (You couldn't take it, you couldn't take it) (I) Go on and say it Was my love too much for you to take? I guess you never knew what was good for you Don't keep me waiting Say the words that you're too scared to say I guess you never knew what was good for you I need to hear you say it Was my love too much for you to take? I guess you never knew what was good for you Don't keep me waiting Say the words that you're too scared to say I guess you never knew what was good for you I came home to see you You weren't around Excuses were one right after the other (You couldn't take it, you couldn't take it) You woke up from another dream Another fight you didn't mean Still time after time I came running to get you (You couldn't take it, you couldn't take it) (I) Repeats x 1 (You couldn't take it) Another heart another day So much time just thrown away (You couldn't take it) You know I love to be in love (You couldn't take it) So tired of trying to show you I work so hard
