Song Lyrics

Can’t Break Through To You

©Francine Honey (SOCAN)

The curtains are always open, in our shower stall

You’re in there trying to wash the war away

The water’s running cold, and your skin’s rubbed raw

I wish you could erase, all the things you saw

Chorus: I can’t break through to you, no matter how I try

I can’t get to you, even when I cry

Tears are falling, on a heart of stone

I can’t break through to you, When you comin’ home

You must be in the trenches again tonight

You’ve pulled your pillow down under your arm

Sleeping with your rifle ready for a fight

You push me away when I try to hold you tight

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

I’ll be here, “in sickness and in health”

Don’t know how to help you,

but I’m here with you in Hell

So I hold your hand, and pray we find a way, ‘cause

Repeat Chorus

How do I break through? I want you home.
