Break In The Cup Lyrics - Singles - David Wilcox

I try so hard to please you 

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 

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 

Because the lonely wind still blows through me 

I turn away so you can't see 

But now how could I still be so empty 

With all this 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 

But 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
