Can’t
Trying for years only to forget the past
A haunting wispy shadow is always cast
Eyes that are closed tight don’t help at all
Ears that fail to shut out a lonely wolf’s call
Why does being in this world have to be so sad?
Nothing that’s good comes out of a war, only bad
Living a life only to end up killing a fellow man
Wishing the Lord had come up with a better plan
Can’t ever get back what is lost
Can’t ever figure out the total cost
Can’t ever go back to what it was
Can’t ever undo the harm it’s caused
Bittersweet memories that I can’t stand
Never able to enjoy a Saturday night band
Thoughts of the ones lost I’ll always despise
Robbing the joy of seeing a new sunrise
