I Can, But I Can't

I can do any sacrifice,

But I can't compromise.

I can give up my children,
But I can't take away my concern.

I can give you full attention,
But I can't assure you of satisfaction.

I can hurt your feelings, honey,
But I can't pronounce, I'm sorry.

I can give you my faithfulness,
But I can't promise you this.

I can make you, forever, happy,
But I can't, if you act badly.

I can show you my affection,
But I can't tell it, in person.

I can accept your shortcomings,
But I can't, if it is dominating.

I can make a vow
But I can't marry you, now.

I can be an irresponsible partner,
But I can't be an irresponsible father.

I can shelter you this moment,
But I can't give you home, yet.

I can leave you alone,
But I can't do it without reason.

I can promise anything,
But I can't do everything,

I can make you cry,
But I can't give it a try.

I can live without you in my life,
But I think, I can't take it, my wife.

I can make you smile and laugh
But I can't, when the going gets tough.

I can reap that success
But I can't, if you oppress.

I can share with you my precious time,
But I can't be with you all the time.

I can, but I can't...
