Ares Kennedy - Can't Tell

Verse 1:
I've been looking at you, daydreaming
In the way, you know me so well, and the fractured heart-damaged soul
Keeping feelings to myself

Double texts and hour-long FaceTime will eventually
Reveal what I'm feeling for you, how hard I fell
In love with you, but that's a secret my love I won't ever share or dispel
Baby, in case you can't tell……

Chorus:
Daydreaming about you
In case you can't tell………………… X3
I hate drinking about, I hate thinking about you
Whoever said love conquers all can go straight to the hottest part of hell

Verse 2:
Still looking at you, still dreaming of one day of being with you; in case you can't tell
But my love stories always end in tragedy and heartbreak
And now I'm blasting Back to December and dear John
Because I've been down this road, and I've tripped, cried, and fell
Because I know heartbreak and pain deeply, in fact all too well
I hate catching feelings for MFS because my feelings don't go away; they dwell

Bridge:
From time to time I still think about you
But I don't do struggle love, I don't care how hard I fell…
And I can't suffer just to love you
I showed you my pain and my truth; and you chose to show your ass
I'm not even mad at you, but I don't wish you well
OUTRO & Chorus:
I've been looking at you
Daydreaming about you
In case you can't tell………………… X6
I hate drinking about
I hate thinking about you
