This Can't Go On Anymore

By Bruce Clifford

I've tried so long to make start

I never knew it was a matter of the heart

I paid my dues for carrying on

Maybe this is why I had to write this song

This feeling's never gone

I've made my bed, but I can't sleep

I don't think I have eaten in a week

I cry at night with my heart wrapped in pain

Maybe I will never see her beautify and her grace

Never again

(Chorus)

Where do we go now

I've been hurt for so long

What can I say now

This can't go on anymore

I've tried so long to heal my heart

I never knew it was tearing you apart

I fought the fight, you fought the war

Nobody told us what we were fighting for

The battles lines were drawn

(Chorus)

Where do we go now

I've been hurt for so long

What can I say now

This can't go on anymore

I touch the sky to clear my mind

I never knew I could do this until I tried

I hold you close in every dream

I never meant to cause you disbelief

(Chorus)

Where do we go now

I've been hurt for so long

What can I say now

This can't go on anymore
