Analysis of Can't Think
Johnny Eugene Reece jr 1966 (Lawton ok.)
I can't think of anything to say,
I can't think because I'm missing you everyday
I can't think because I need you
I can't think because I know you're thinking of him
I can't think, I do not know what to do
I can't think my emotions have left me
I can't think this stuff has my mind fried
I can't think because every night I cry
I can't think because when I do, I think of you
I can't think of being so happy
I can't think of being so sad
I can't think because I still love you
I can't think because the feelings are not the same
I can't think because the love is too strong
I can't think because when I do, I think of all the things that have gone wrong
I can't think because you're gone
I can't think
