Can't Not     
             
I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed, 
Would I be putting it right with my silence and rage 
Would I be letting you in; invite a reaction, yeah? 
And how would I explain 
How would I explain this to my children if I had them? 

Because I can't not 
Because I can't not 
Because I can't not win without my losing, my dear 

Would it be whining if I said I needed a hug? 
Would you feel slighted if I said your love's not enough? 
And how dare I complain? 
And how dare I complain when you want for a chance for this? 

Because I can't not 
Because I can't not 
Because I can't help laugh at your delusions 
Because I can't not 
Because I can't not 
Because I can't help wonder why you ask me 

To all the unheard children in the school yard 
You think you're the right ones 
You swear you're the charmed ones I'm sure 
But how can you go on with such conviction? 
Who do you think you are when you question me? 

Because we can't not 
Because we can't not 
Because we can't help laugh at your delusions 
Because we can't not 

Why do you affect me? 
Why do you affect me still? 
Why do you hinder me? 
Why do you hinder me still? 

Because I can't not 
Because I can't not 
Because I can't not walk without my crutches
