I Can't Mend It

(Ray Griff)



I can take a little cement

And mend our patio

I can fill in all the rough spots

So they won't even show.



I can mend a roof of shingles

With a hammer and some nails

But baby, when I try to mend

Your broken heart, I fail.



I can't mend it

I can't mend it.



Your big heartbreak was my mistake

But I did not intend it

I lost my head and words were said

But that's no cause to end it.



Give me the parts

To patch your heart

I can't mend it.



I can hand a shaky table

And mend the legs with glue

I can send it down and paint it

So you'd think it was new.



I can mend a shattered window

That a storm has torn apart

But I don't know which way to go

To mend your broken heart.



I can't mend it.

I can't mend it...
