I Just Don't Have It In Me

This is the first song I wrote with Marla and Charley. It's about being in a place that isn't right anymore but being too tired from all the fighting to even leave. So this time, she's staying so it is his turn to go!! It truly came to life when Dan Tyminski sang the harmony part in the studio!! I love to hear him sing- especially when it's with me!! I still have to remind myself I am not dreaming!!

Get out that suitcase
Empty the drawers
Cuss and scream and throw a few things
And leave my heart at the door
Tear out of the driveway
Head straight on through town
And drive ‘til it’s too late for you to turn around

Chorus:
‘Cause I just don’t have it in me
You go this time, I ain’t gonna leave
Hurry it on ‘cause being strong
Is bringing me to my knees
I can’t hurt anymore
I just don’t have it in me

Don’t say you’re sorry
It don’t matter now
Don’t tell me she didn’t mean anything
Just get out
Forget about chances
There aren’t any left
The forgiveness you’re wanting, baby that’s something
You’ll have to give yourself

‘Cause I just don’t have it in me
I can’t take a minute more of this love we’re in
Don’t get me wrong, ‘cause being alone
Is the last thing that I want to be
But I can’t hurt anymore
I just don’t have it in me

I don’t love you no more
I just don’t have it in me
Just don’t have it in me
