What stops you from loving more deeply and without boundaries of expression? With nothing but the pre-scripted words "I Can't Love You Because" the artists were given one take to improvise their reaction. Inspired by David Cates.
lyrics
Xavier Dige
I can’t love you because you’re a different color than me/
I can’t love you because you don’t love yourself/
I can’t love you because you do drugs/
Why do you hate me?
Why do you hate me?
I can’t love you because you don’t love me/
I can’t love you because you don’t love me/
I can’t love you/
Because you don’t love me/
Because you don’t love me/
I can’t love you/
I can’t love you/
I can’t love you/
Because you don’t love me/
Because you don’t love me/
Trae Beats
I can’t love you because of where you’re from/
I can’t love you because you don’t make enough money/
I can’t love you because of the way you perceive life/
I can’t love you because of who you choose to love/
So why do you hate me?/
why do you hate me?/
I’m having a hard time loving you lately/
why do you hate me?/
why do you hate me?/
I’m having a hard time loving you lately/
But I love everyday/
But I love everyday/
But I can’t love you/
