I Can't Do This Anymore

© 2013 Mark Cote

empty hollow hallway
treading there without a sound
I remember the fight
we had last night
don't have the strength for a go-around

in the faded pictures
I see what I used to be
I lived for the fun
my heart was so young
how I miss what was left of me

(chorus) I
                  can't fight within this bubble
                  the more I do the more I crumble
                  in this endless struggle
                  I can only reach the floor
                  why
                  spiraling in deeper
                  all I get is weaker
                  one thing that looks clearer is
                  I can't do this anymore
                  no I can't do this anymore

(instrumental)

colors all come clearer
every facet shows within the light
where is the you I knew
do you see it too
did we blind our hearts to see

(chorus)

On The other Side Of A Loved One's Eyes

it was good
it was bad
but the love remained the same
on the other side
of a loved ones eyes
nobody is left to blame

words were said
hearts were broke
but if you weather it through
together you'll grow

(chorus) On the other side...
                  of a loved ones eyes...
                  while you may walk alone
                  they take a part of you
                  while you take a apart of them

                  on the other side
                  of a loved ones eyes
                  you never know
                  what you might find

years have flown
did we grow?
now that you are gone
my tears they show

do I start again
do I just let go
I guess sometimes with love
we never know

(chorus)

Why I Love You Like I Do

(chorus) why do I love you like I do
                  like I do
                  maybe it's because of what you do
                  what you do
                  you have a way with what you say
                  you just have a certain way
                  that's why I love you like I do

summer
could it be any funner
is it the spell I am under
I can't even hear the thunder
it can make some people wonder
but you make it all summer

rain
can keep on falling down
I'm so glad that you're around
thunder doesn't make a sound
In your eyes I think I've found
our love on higher ground

(chorus)
(instrumental)

days
are now just shades of blue
when I'm here with you
what seems old now is new
our love comes shining through
what I thought once now is true

(chorus)
