I can't tell

These are the last ten mintues before you go
And what could I tell you, I don't know
Your bag is packed you've got your raincoat on
You're still here but your love is gone

Now I could lock you in a cage and throw away the key
I could put you on an island with sharks in the sea
I could tie you up put a leash around your neck
But it doesn't make sense to hold you back
Because like

I can't tell the sun to shine in the night
I can't tell the moon to warm up it's light
I can't tell the summer forever to stay
I can't tell your love not to fade away
Like I can't the clouds to stop the rain
I can't tell the ocean to swallow my pain
I can't tell the time to bring back yesterday
I can't tell your love not to fade away

You look out of the window into the night
I know there is someone waitin' outside
It's too late to fight I can't even cry
Nothing can stop your last goodbye

Now I could put you in chains or build a chinese wall
Could kiss you night and day no one will hear you call
I could pay the police to keep you in town
But if love wants to fly you can't keep it down
Because like

I can't tell the sun to shine in the night
I can't tell the moon to warm up it's light
I can't tell the summer forever to stay
I can't tell your love not to fade away
Like I can't the clouds to stop the rain
I can't tell the ocean to swallow my pain
I can't tell the time to bring back yesterday
Like I can't tell your love not to fade away (oh no)

And now when you close the door it won't change anything anymore
I felt the million miles between us, long before
And now when you close the door it won't change anything anymore
I felt the million miles between us, long before (long before...)
And now when you close the door it won't change anything anymore
I felt the million miles between us, long before
