Can’t Decide Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sun's comin' up and I can't decide
To spill my emotions or keep 'em inside
Go for a drive, go to the store
I'm lookin' for somethin' that can't be found there
I always wear a smile
Because anything but a smile
Would make me have to explain
And they wouldn't understand anyway


[Chorus]
I conceal my feelings so I won't have to explain
What I can't explain anyway
I can't decide, can't decide
Can't decide anything
I can't decide, I can't decide
I can't decide anything

[Verse 2]
Every time I open my mouth
I always wish I had kept it shut
I gotta spill my guts, but I don't dare
I take a look around; I know that no one else cares
I always wear a smile
Because anything but a smile
Would make me have to explain
And they wouldn't understand anyway

[Chorus]
I conceal my feelings so I won't have to explain
What I can't explain anyway
I can't decide, can't decide
Can't decide anything
I can't decide, I can't decide
I can't decide anything

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I conceal my feelings so I won't have to explain
What I can't explain anyway
I can't decide, can't decide
Can't decide anything
I can't decide, I can't decide
I can't decide anything

[Verse 3]
Sun's comin' up, I still can't decide
To spill my emotions or keep 'em inside
Goin' for a drive, then I'm goin' to the store
I'm lookin' for somethin', but I still don't know what for
I always wear a smile
Because anything but a smile
Would make me have to explain
And they wouldn't understand anyway

[Chorus]
I conceal my feelings so I won't have to explain
What I can't explain anyway
I can't decide, I can't decide
Can't decide anything
Can't decide, I can't decide
I can't decide anything
No, no!
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
