[Verse 1: Rence & Noah Cyrus]
If I'm giving you up, why you sleeping over?
And why we ain't sober?
My heart is a mess with your hand on my chest
And your head on my shoulder (Mmm)
You making me a loner, an isolated stoner
With all of this stress, might head out West
'Cause the world's getting colder
This ain't what you want, this ain't what you need
Did you think that love was a guarantee?
No one can give you that
[Pre-Chorus: Rence & Noah Cyrus, Rence]
I can see the signs, read between the lines
Sirens in my head driving through the night
Let's just fade to black
[Chorus: Rence, Rence & Noah Cyrus]
Baby, I'm broke, you spend my time
I ain't got the patience left to pay no mind
Not that I don't want to
I just can't afford to love you
Baby, I choke when you ask me why
I ain't got the heart to give it one last try
Not that I don't want to
I just can't afford to love you
[Post-Chorus: Rence]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Can't afford to love you
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Can't afford to love you
[Verse 2: Noah Cyrus, Rence & Noah Cyrus]
Thought that you would change, you didn't
How did we get so deep in it?
I can't remember what made it so special back in the beginning (Mmm)
I can't be responsible for you
You're making it impossible for me
Think you saying things I wanna hear
Ain't nothing but things I don't believe
[Pre-Chorus: Rence & Noah Cyrus, Noah Cyrus]
I can see the signs, read between the lines
Sirens in my head driving through the night
Let's just fade to black (Mmm)
[Chorus: Rence & Noah Cyrus]
Baby, I'm broke, you spend my time
I ain't got the patience left to pay no mind
Not that I don't want to
I just can't afford to love you
Baby, I choke when you ask me why
I ain't got the heart to give it one last try
Not that I don't want to
I just can't afford to love you
[Post-Chorus: Rence, Rence & Noah Cyrus, Noah Cyrus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Can't afford to love you
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Just a little bit of you (Ooh)
And it's not that I don't love you
I just can't afford to love you

It’s about when you feel like you’ve given someone so much that you’ve depleted your own resources. It’s not that you don’t want to give that person the world, but you just can’t afford to anymore, because it’s starting to really hurt you. It’s about looking out for and loving yourself in a sense.
