"I CAN'T STAY"
by David Guilbault

I can’t stay - in this mind
While I wrestle with the words,
All said unkind.
I’ve gotta flee from the tragedy of you and me.

I can’t stay - in this hurt.
We have put our feelings all
On high alert.
Careful words, meant to hide and blur, still left unheard.


I can’t stay - in this Neverland,
Where we never grow, where we never learn,
Where we never seem to find our loving ground.

I can’t stay - in this guilt.
I need to find a way to reach you
And rebuild.

I can’t stay - in this blame.
I apologize in sorrow
And in shame.

I can’t stay.

I can’t stay - in this Neverland,
Where we never grow, where we never learn,
Where we never seem to find our loving ground.

I can’t stay - in this mind
While I wrestle with the words,
All said unkind.
I gotta be the best of me, for you.
