I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed
Could I be proving you right with my silence and rage?
Would I be letting you in, invite a reaction, yeah?
And how would I explain
How would I explain this to my children if I had them?
Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't not win without losing him
Would I be whining if I said I needed a hug?
Would you feel slighted if I said your love's not enough?
And how can I complain
How can I complain when I'm the one who reaches for this?
Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't not win without losing him
Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't not help wondering at your delusions
To all the unheard children in the schoolyard
You think you're the right ones
You swear you're the charmed ones, I'm sure
But how do you go on with such conviction
And who do you think you are? Why do you question me?
Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't not win without losing him
Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't not wonder why you ask me
Why do you affect me?
Why do you affect me still?
Why do you hinder me?
Why do you hinder me still?
Because I can't not walk without my crutches
