Gram Parsons
I Just Can’t Take It Anymore
[Verse 1]
I've been thinking back on it, babe
I guess it's been useless after all
I'm tired of seeing the days going by
Tearing the numbers off my wall
[Chorus 1]
You've been taking up my time, stepping out of line
Breaking up the dreams I had before
And I just can't make it anymore
No, I just won't take it anymore
[Verse 2]
I heard once before you were looking for a friend
Who could take the time to really get to know you
But you wanted me to kneel and forgot that I was real
And I guess I'm not content that far below you
[Chorus 2]
Been shaking up my bed, breaking up my head
So I'm breaking up and turning in my score
And I just won't make it anymore
No, I just can't take it anymore
[Verse 3]
I tried to do my best and it would have worked, I guess
But I couldn't keep my eyes from seeing through you
So I'll go on alone and I'll leave you here at home
And forget the fact I ever even knew you
[Chorus 3]
Well, we could have done a lot, we certainly did not
So I'll try to do the things I did before
And I just won't make it anymore
No, I just can't take it anymore
[Refrain]
No, I just won't make it anymore
No, I just can't take it anymore
