I Can't Love You

I could buy gold, diamonds, necklaces and bracelets
And i could fly to faraway exotic places
I'll do whatever i have to do to keep a smile right on your face
But when i'm not around remember
When you stare into the mirror, mirror, that baby

I can't love you if you don't love you
I can't cry for you, can't heal your wounds
I could wipe away your tears, hold you right here
Buy you pretty things, but the truth is that
I can't love you if you don't love you

Oh so beautiful girl, you're a keeper
But i can tell your story it runs deeper
I see you for you but i'm not him
The one who hurt you way back when
I'm umbrella you through the rain
And try to kiss away the pain but baby

I can't love you if you don't love you
I can't cry for you, can't heal your wounds
I could wipe away your tears, hold you right here
Buy you pretty things, but the truth is that
I can't love you if you don't love you

I'm a good guy who's trying to change
Your mind, the type you thought you'd never find
So soon after but joy and laughter you've got it
But baby you are still comparing me to somebody
Whoever done brought you pain
It's time to get up out of the rain
'cause baby i can't love you girl
If you don't love yourself
You better pick somebody else
'cause i can't do it no more

I can't love you if you don't love you
I can't cry for you, can't heal your wounds
I could wipe away your tears, hold you right here
Buy you pretty things, but the truth is that
I can't love you if you don't love you
