We Can't Go On This Way
Johnny O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you went away
I felt something I couldn't explain
I wanted to tell you how I feel inside
I'm hurtin' so bad
Something is wrong I feel so lost my love
You're never around when I needed you

[Chorus]
Girl, we can't go on this way
I just want to say
Girl, we can't go on this way
I just want to say, want to say
We can't go on this way

I'm not even sure, of what you're thinking
What's on your mind
You tell me you want me
But the time isn't right
Something is wrong
I feel it inside my heart
You're asking me to let you go

[Chorus]

Something is wrong
I feel it inside my heart
You're asking me to let you go





[Chorus]
