Lyrics
I can't let my baby be
I am unable to let my significant other leave.
Tried to turn him to a shape
I attempted to change them to fit my desires.
That would fit well with me
I wanted them to conform to what I wanted.
Now my baby's all alone
Now my partner is alone after I departed.
Ever since I up and gone
Since I left, my partner has been alone.
I can't let my baby be
I still can't allow my partner to be without me.
I can't let my baby sleep
I cannot permit my partner to sleep peacefully.
I wake him in the wee small hours
I wake them up during the early hours.
Of the morning breeze
Interrupting their sleep in the calm morning.
Or I'd choke up on the tears
Otherwise, I would cry uncontrollably.
Like a faucet without gears
Similar to a broken faucet, I can't control my tears.
I can't let my baby sleep
I can't allow my partner to sleep undisturbed.
How do you leave behind
How do you move on from a love that's still alive?
a love that hasn't died?
Questioning leaving a love that persists.
He says to me and frowns
Partner expresses concern and disapproval.
And I can't let my baby down
I can't disappoint my partner.
I can't let my baby down
I'm compelled not to let my partner down.
Easy
It's not simple or effortless.
I can't let my baby drown
I cannot allow my partner to sink or fail.
If he sinks below the line of sight
If they're struggling, I must be there.
I best be bound
I'm bound to support them if they struggle.
To a life in debt
I'd be committed to a life filled with sorrow.
To sadness and regret
Regret and sadness would dominate my life.
I can't let my baby drown
I can't let my partner succumb to difficulties.
How do you leave behind
How do you move on from a love that's still alive?
a love that hasn't died?
Reiteration of the challenge in moving forward.
He says to me and frowns
Partner expresses concern and disapproval.
And I can't let my baby down
I can't disappoint my partner.
I can't let my baby down
I'm compelled not to let my partner down.
Easy
It's not simple or effortless.
Where do I go
If there's no clear path forward, where should I go?
If I got no road ahead
Feeling directionless without a road ahead.
Where do I hide
If I can't find something substantial to support,
If I can't find nothing to stand behind
Where can I seek refuge or protection?
Cause I can't find nothing to stand behind
As I'm unable to find something solid to rely on.
I can't let my baby leave
I can't bear for my partner to depart.
If he's gone I won't go on
If they're gone, I can't continue.
Knowing how to believe
Struggling to have faith or trust.
That love's some kind of dancer
Love responds when called upon.
If you call it, it'll answer
Love is responsive and present.
I can't let my baby leave
I can't bear for my partner to leave.
