Can't Get Used To Losing You
Struggling to Adapt: Alton Ellis' Heartfelt Journey Through Loss
Lyrics
Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round
Expressing resignation and acceptance that lingering around is futile.
Guess I'll get dressed and do the town
Deciding to get dressed and go out, possibly to distract oneself from the situation.
I'll find some crowded avenue
Intending to navigate through a busy street or area.
Though it will be empty without you
Acknowledging that the place will feel empty in the absence of the person being referred to.
Can't get used to losin' you
Expressing difficulty in adapting to the experience of losing the person.
No matter what I try to do
Despite efforts, unable to overcome the emotional impact of the loss.
Gonna live my whole life through
Determined to continue living, implying a commitment to move forward.
Loving you
Commitment to continue loving the person despite the separation.
Called up some girl I used to know
Attempting to connect with someone from the past, possibly seeking companionship.
After I heard her say "Hello"
Reacting to a greeting, possibly indicating the difficulty of engaging in conversation.
Couldn't think of anything to say
Experiencing a challenge in finding words to communicate, possibly due to the lingering impact of the separation.
Since you're gone it happens every day
Noticing a recurring difficulty in communication since the departure of the person.
Can't get used to losin' you
Reiterating the difficulty in getting accustomed to the loss.
No matter what I try to do
Despite efforts, the emotional challenge persists.
Gonna live my whole life through
Commitment to living the entire life with the memory and impact of the lost relationship.
Loving you
Reaffirmation of the enduring love for the person.
I'll find somebody, wait and see
Expressing the intention to find another person in the future.
Who am I kiddin', only me
Realizing the self-deceptive nature of such intentions, acknowledging that only the person can fill the void.
'Cause no one else could take your place
Acknowledging the unique and irreplaceable role of the person in one's life.
Guess that I am just a hopeless case
Acceptance of personal hopelessness in moving on from the lost relationship.
Can't get used to losin' you
Reiterating the ongoing difficulty in adapting to the loss.
No matter what I try to do
Despite continued efforts, the emotional challenge remains.
Gonna live my whole life through
Commitment to living the entire life with the emotional burden of the lost relationship.
Loving you
Reaffirmation of the enduring love for the person.
Can't get used to losin' you
Emphasizing the persistent difficulty in getting used to the loss.
No matter what I try to do
Despite all efforts, the emotional struggle continues.
Gonna live my whole life through
Commitment to living the entire life with the emotional impact of the lost relationship.
Loving you
Reaffirmation of the enduring love for the person.
