lyrics
What if I can’t do it
All the things I said I would?
What if I can’t handle it
Like I thought I could?
What if I’m not up for it
All the things I thought I was?
And now I’m failing you
And failing myself?
That’s what I get
For being hopeful
That’s what I get
For looking forward
That’s what I get
Just a fantasy
Where I can lay my head
Limitations
Of the things I’ve done and said
These imitations
They haven’t come without their debts
That I’ll be paying off forever
So if you ask for my two cents
I haven’t got a one
No all my pennies have been spent
Well in advance
And these limitations
Have foiled all my plans
What if I can’t do it?
And what if I can’t make it?
What if all the things they said were really true?
Would you still be here in the morning
Just because I love you?
What if I can’t do it?
And what if I can’t make it?
