Tunde Baiyewu - I Can't Make The World Disappear Songtexte

I look into your sad brown eyes
And I wish I had an answer for you
I can tell you it's ok
But I can't make that true

So I reach out for your small soft hands
Just hoping I can calm your fear
We talk though the confusion
Til it all starts to clear

But I can't make the world disappear
I will try just by holding you near
How long can that last
How long can we last

You ask what would be best for me
But it's loaded like a firing squad
So I hold off their fire
I don't wanna spill our blood

I can lock in all our pain
But I still can't stop it hurting you
And it makes it all the harder
That there's nothing I can do

Cause I can't make the world disappear
I will try just by holding you near
How long can that last
How long can we last

Just flesh and bone
And broken from the start
But it's worth going through
For your greatest gift to me
The experience of you

Still I can't make the world disappear
I will try just by holding you near
How long can that last
How long can we last

Still I can't make the world disappear
I will try just by holding you near
How long can that last
How long can we last
