can’t ignore

by brendan philip mccusker

verse 1

careful lies from shifting eyes too quick to over analyze

i bet it comes as no surprise

clever lines dressed in disguise

leaving without saying goodbye

i hope you cut me down to size


chorus

i wanna be everything you want and so much more

but i lie awake and wonder if i’ll ever be the one

so i try to do anything i can to calm the storm

but i’m deafened by the thunder

and i’m terrified of what i can’t ignore i can’t ignore

i can’t ignore


verse 2

throwing darts and leaving marks

you knocked it right out of the park

it was a game set from the start

broken hearts left in the dark

praying to find a single spark

go burn your flame and play the part


chorus

i wanna be everything you want and so much more

but i lie awake and wonder if i’ll ever be the one

so i try to do anything i can to calm the storm

but i’m deafened by the thunder

and i’m terrified of what i can’t ignore i can’t ignore

i can’t ignore
