I Can't Stand It - Reckless Kelly

Dear brothers be strong

Sweet sister keep holdin' on

Poor father we gotta soldier on

Tell mother it’s always darkest before the dawn

But I can’t stand it

We all gotta learn how to say goodbye

But I can’t handle it

So don’t look me in the eyes

I can’t stand it

I can’t stand to see you cry

Baby, I’m a rock and you’re an oak

But the rain will fall and the wind will blow

They’ll try to wear us down

They’ll try to break our souls

So baby cling to me

And I’ll never let you go

'Cause I can’t stand it

We all gotta learn how to say goodbye

But I can’t handle it

So don’t look me in the eye

I can’t stand it

I can’t stand to see you cry

Let them beat the drums

Let the pipers blow

But darlin' hold your tears

As you watch them go

May we not forget

As time goes by

But don’t show it yet

Cause I can’t stand to see you cry

No I can’t stand it

We all gotta learn how to say goodbye

But I can’t handle it

So don’t look me in the eye

I can’t stand it

I can’t stand to see you cry
