I Can't Tell You What It's Like (song)

[Underground_Network]

Love took its turn with me,
And now I think I'm finally free,
But do you know what freedom brings?
It's not the liberty bell that rings,
It's more like fifteen bees that sting,
It burns until you numb your skin.

And I can't tell you what it's like
To have a broken heart
But still smile when I see you
There, with your hands in the air
Like you honestly don't care
But you honestly must care for him.

Because I thought what we had
Was something similar to love
But I guess none of the above
Was the right answer when I rushed
To tell you "I'm in love,"
And you calmly smiled back
And said "Not so quick at that."

And I can't tell you what it's like
To have a broken heart
But still smile when I see you
There, with your hands in the air
Like you honestly don't care
But you honestly must care for him.

Because every fucking day
At around four fifteen
In the A.M., incomplete,
I go stumbling down my street,
Like a drunkard with my feet
Tripping over themselves, ain't that neat?
How you left me wandering
Through the darkest city streets...

And I can't tell you what it's like
To have a broken heart
But still smile when I see you
There, with your hands in the air
Like you honestly don't care
But you honestly must care for him.

All I wanted was some love,
Maybe even just a hug
But you squashed me like a bug,
Left me running from it all,
Yeah you brought me freedom, see,
But look what freedom's done to me!

And I can't tell you what it's like
To have a broken heart
But still smile when I see you
There, with your hands in the air
Like you honestly don't care
But you honestly must care for him.

And I can't tell you what it's like
To have a broken heart
But still smile when I see you
There, with your hands in the air
Like you honestly don't care
But you honestly must care for him.
Yeah, you honestly must care for him
But I'm left wondering what it means
To be me.
