..............................................
I try so hard to please you
To be the love that fills you up
I try to pour on sweet affection,
But I think you got a broken cup.
Because you can`t believe I love you
I try to tell you that there is no doubt,
But as soon as I fill you with all I`ve got
That little break will let it run right out.
I cannot make you happy.
I`m learning love and money never do
But I can pour myself out `til I`m empty
Trying to be just who you`d want me to.
But I cannot make you happy
Even though our love is true
For there`s a break in the cup that holds love
Inside of you.
Now I begin to understand you
As you explain this fear you feel.
It`s when you see me fall into that sorrow
it makes you doubt the love is real.
`Cause the lonely wind still blows through me
I turn away so can`t see
But now how could I still be so empty
With all the love that you pour on me.
I guess you cannot make me happy
That`s a money back guarantee.
But you can pour yourself out `til you`re empty
Trying to be just who I`d want you to be.
You cannot make me happy
It`s just the law of gravity
And that break in the cup that holds love,
Inside of me.
So if you`re tempted to rescue me
Drowning in this quicksand up to my neck
Before you grab my hand to save me
Why don`t you ask me if I`m finished yet.
Because you cannot make me happy
Not when I`m empty inside of me
But you can pull yourself right in here with me
My misery`d love to have your company.
We cannot trade empty for empty
We must go to the waterfall
For there`s a break in the cup that holds love,
A break in the cup that holds love,
A break in the cup that holds love,
Inside us all. Inside us all.
