“Can’t Stand Losing You” is about a boy planning to commit suicide because the girl he loves no longer loves him.
[Verse 1]
I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true, what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this
[Chorus]
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
[Verse 2]
I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
[Pre-Chorus]
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living, doesn't make no sense
[Chorus]
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
[Verse 3]
I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care, so I won't cry
And you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride
[Outro]
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand
Can't stand losing you
