I Can't Do This Lyrics

I woke up late.
Guess I'm never really early.
I hesitate,
Only to fail.
I get so tired
Of procrastinating.
I need a change.

I can't do this.
I can't do this.
I can't do this by myself.
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
Oh God, I need your help.

I'm standing still,
Moved so peaceful.
I can't pretend
That I'm fine.
I get so ill,
Crazy, agitated
When I'm not really dying.

I can't do this.
I can't do this.
I can't do this by myself.
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
Oh God, I need your help.

Press into me.
(Press into me.)
Breathe the air.
(Breathe the air.)
Bask in me.
(Bask in me.)
You'll be free
To do anything.

I can't do this.
I can't do this.
I can't do this by myself.
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
Oh God, I need your help.
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
I can't do this by myself.
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
Oh God, I need your help.

Alot of people think this is a Lacuna Coil song o.O When I downloaded it, is was under Lacuna Coil but then I found out it wasn't them as soon as I heard it >.

Heard this song on a video on youtube, I'm not usually a big Christian music fan but this is actually pretty good although I find it slightly depressing.

i feel this song is about self harm.. like the song "cut".. the whole song screams "i need help, i can't get over this depression and pain i have inside me". it doesn't really have to GOD she's crying to, just anyone.. like "oh god, why can't someone see me and help me?"

exactly. Its a cry to anyone in general. Like a friend or significant other.

this song gives me chills

I love this song. I seriously can never do something without God. He's always with me, even when I felt guilty of my worst sins. This song is awesome and I sort of agree with Khrysta.

I agree with Khrysta.. The part of the song where it goes Press into me. (Press into me.) Breathe the air. (Breathe the air.)

Could be talking about the razor on her skin and how you feel so much relief after cutting you are able to "breathe" again

Cover art for I Can't Do This lyrics by Plumb

no, it's not a cry to anyone in general, considering this is a christian band and the song is on a christian mix cd, i'm gonna make the correct assumption that it's about god. i do think khrysta is right about the whole cutting part though. but the song really was written about god.
