What It Can Be lyrics - Conor Maynard

I don't wanna feel

Like I did last night in the cold of the pear tree

Say it isn't real

I can see your eyes have been hurting you lately

You slow down time when you hold me

But something's wrong and we don't know why

I go to speak and it chokes me

But we'll be over if I don't try

I put myself in chains

So I can take the blame

I don't know if we're gonna make it

But we don't know how to say it

I don't wanna make a mistake here

But I don't know how to save it

I can't run away

When it's still maybe

'Cause I can never tell you what it will be

I can only tell you what it can be

I swear we were the ones

Who would both stand strong while the others were losing

Now we've got a gun

And we're both waiting for the other to use it

I'm tryna hold on but I'm dying

If I go down will you hold my hand

I close my eyes but it's blinding

It can't be time I don't understand

I put myself in chains

So I can take the blame

I don't know if we're gonna make it

But we don't know how to say it

I don't wanna make a mistake here

But I don't know how to save it

I can't run away

When it's still maybe

'Cause I can never tell you what it will be

I can only tell you what it can be
