Lyrics

I Can’t Love Me With You
Elvira Walls/Allen Krehbiel

Verse 1
We made our vows in Vegas, no white dress, no family.
You said our love was bigger than my little girl fairy tale wedding dreams.
You convinced me how our life and love should be.
I started changing, rearranging until I wasn’t me.

Chorus 1
Now I can’t love me with you.
And our love is nothing if it isn't true,
and this isn't true,
'cause I’m lying when I try to be
who you want me to.
Now I see I can’t love me with you.

Verse 2
The tennis shoes and blue jeans that I used to wear embarrassed you.
I found new friends, a new job, cut my hair because you told me I wanted to.
You said you shared my dream that when the time was right
we'd have a baby, now you think maybe you could change my mind.

Chorus 2
And I can’t love me with you.
And our love is nothing if it isn't true,
and this isn't true,
'cause I’m lying when I try to be
who you want me to.
Now I see I can’t love me with you.

Bridge
I've done all I can,
but baby we don't stand a chance
if you can't love me for who I truly am.
Oh no, ‘cause who I truly am just …

Chorus 3
… Can’t love me with you.
And our love is nothing if it isn't true,
and this isn't true,
'cause I’m lying when I try to be
who you want me to.
And now I can see there's not much left of me to lose.
And I can't believe goodbye is what I've come down to,
but I can't love me with you.
