David Wilcox - Break in the Cup lyrics

To be the love that fills you up

I try to pour on sweet affection,

But I think you got a broken cup.

Because you can't believe I love you

I try to tell you that there is no doubt,

But as soon as I fill you with all I've got

That little break will let it run right out.

I cannot make you happy.

I'm learning love and money never do

But I can pour myself out 'til I'm empty

Trying to be just who you'd want me to.

But I cannot make you happy

Even though our love is true

For there's a break in the cup that holds love

Inside of you.

Now I begin to understand you

As you explain this fear you feel.

It's when you see me fall into that sorrow

it makes you doubt the love is real.

'Cause the lonely wind still blows through me

I turn away so can't see

But now how could I still be so empty

With all the love that you pour on me.

I guess you cannot make me happy

That's a money back guarantee.

But you can pour yourself out 'til you're empty

Trying to be just who I'd want you to be.

You cannot make me happy

It's just the law of gravity

And that break in the cup that holds love,

Inside of me.

So if you're tempted to rescue me

Drowning in this quicksand up to my neck

Before you grab my hand to save me

Why don't you ask me if I'm finished yet.

Because you cannot make me happy

Not when I'm empty inside of me

But you can pull yourself right in here with me

My misery'd love to have your company.

We cannot trade empty for empty

We must go to the waterfall

For there's a break in the cup that holds love,

A break in the cup that holds love,

A break in the cup that holds love,

Inside us all. Inside us all
