This song is about the pain that he is going through with his lover cheating on him/leaving him for another man. He is fighting his pain, saying he can’t forgive her for the act she committed but he can’t go on in life without her.
[Verse 1]
Well they thought they were made for each other
One thinking of one another
Never thinking just for one second
She would take a different attraction
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
[Chorus]
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you
Can't go on without you, yeah
I can't go on without you
[Verse 2]
Oh so, what's the point in breaking my sweetheart?
She wanted me to let down my guard
Well, you know what they say, it's better that way
So, so you better hush and walk away
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
[Chorus]
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh lord
Can't go on without you, ooh ooh
I can't go on, won't go on, living on, without you
[Refrain]
Woah yeah
Woah ah
[Verse 3]
Well, was I supposed to wait for you sweetheart?
And hide away the shame
Yes I keep it all inside
Though the thought had crossed my mind
To do all the things I regret and we don’t want that
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no
[Chorus]
I can't, I can't, I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh lord
Go on without you, ooh ooh
I can't go on without you babe
Yeah
[Bridge]
Ahh, she loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
My love's gon' love me
[Verse 4]
Oh so what is left but a broken man?
Cause nothing hurts like a woman can
[Outro]
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh yeah
Can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh
Oh without you lord, without you
Without you babe
Oh lord
You
