Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seven
Days since I've been locked outside your heaven
I'm floating on a cloud with all these questions
Am I wrong?
Am I the one to blame?
Eleven
Million times I tried to call, you answered, never
I tried to leave a messages, something clever
Such a fool, always playing stupid games
[Chorus]
Who am I, if I can't love you forever?
Who am I, if I can't keep it together?
Who am I?
And who am I?
I could be someone better if I pulled you in closer
Feel all the things that I'm not supposed to
But who am I, who am I?
I'm the man who can't be loved
[Verse 2]
I'm so guarded
Building up these walls is where it started
You're always saying that I was so cold hearted
But I'm not
Im just putting on a face
I tried my best to see the light
Oh god it kills me everytime
I keep asking myself
Over and over and over
[Chorus]
Who am I, if I can't love you forever?
Who am I, if I can't keep it together?
Who am I?
And who am I?
I could be someone better if I pulled you in closer
Feel all the things that I'm not supposed to
But who am I, who am I?
I'm the man who can't be loved
[Bridge]
Am I just hiding from the pain?
In vein, I've fell before
Am I just running from mistakes?
Have I closed every door?
I keep asking myself
[PreChorus]
Who am I, if I can't love you forever?
Who am I, if I can't keep it together?
Who am I?
Who am I?
I'm the man who can't be loved
[Chorus]
Who am I, if I can't love you forever?
Who am I, if I can't keep it together?
Who am I?
And who am I?
I could be someone better if I pulled you in closer
Feel all the things that I'm not supposed to
But who am I, who am I?
I'm the man who can't be
Who am I, who am I?
I'm the man who can't be loved
