can't be there - coda conduct lyrics

phone call at 2 am, you say you’re down at the station
so i ask what you’re doing there, you say you’re just waiting
and i know that when you’re down you feel like h*ll at night
so i don’t know what to say when
you say you don’t know there’s any way to set it right and no ones there to make you get behind the yellow line

you went home safe and woke up next day
like “no worries, nothing here to see, my heads okay”
i’m battling the weather while i’m seeing an umbrella
but you’re a shine and there’s no rain

it took 2 years to learn to face that he had to be the first to change
it took tears and words that’d break my heart, and still, it hurts to say that

[chorus]
oooohh
can’t be there for you, yeah i want to but the first steps up to you (oohh)
can’t be there for you, can’t be there to help you up if i need saving too

you had to put tape on the cracks in the windows
and the d*mn tap keeps on dripping, it isn’t exactly what you’d call a home but it’s something you can live in
in 15 years yeah the time passed
and i can’t imagine what it must have been like but
when i call i can hear the same slur in your voice
same man, same wine glass
and back then i used to want go make it better but
all grown up now i get that i can’t cause i know now what mum knew then
you can’t be there for someone until they ask

so you can find somebody that’ll fix your tap
and you can patch up your windows with tape
but i’m not going to sit and wait and watch you pour another one
i can’t help you if you don’t want to change

[chorus]
oooohh
can’t be there for you, yeah i want to but the first steps up to you (oohh)
can’t be there for you, can’t be there to help you up if i need saving too

and ever since i was a girl, been shown the mother and the nurse
and been told that i should always keep on loving if it hurts
cause it’s sons and soldiers, and nothing could be worse than to turn around and make yourself the one that’s coming first
and i know it doesn’t make me any less of a daughter, or less of a lover, or less of a friend
to find the strength to confess that i’ve fought enough
and now it’s your turn, because you’re the only one that’s left in the end
so..

don’t paint my pain as virtue
don’t paint my pain as virtue
(what am i to do)
don’t paint my pain as virtue
(if i keep on loving you)
don’t paint my pain..
(cause i keep on loving you)

[chorus]
oooohh
can’t be there for you, yeah i want to but the first steps up to you (oohh)
can’t be there for you, can’t be there to help you up if i need saving too

cause i keep on loving you
