Lyrics
I just can't do it, not anymore
I am unable to continue with something, no longer
Every time I fake a smile I feel just like a whore
Feeling inauthentic when putting on a happy face, likening it to a sense of moral compromise
I just can't do it, it's beyond my means
It is outside my capacity or resources
And all I know about love reading fashion magazines
My knowledge about love is limited, derived from superficial sources like fashion magazines
I just can't do it, it can't be done
The task at hand is impossible to achieve
That's just what I say cause I know I'm not the one
Asserting a lack of capability, possibly to avoid responsibility or commitment
And I've been moving for so long
Extended period of movement or change
Life's a million miles away
Life seems distant and disconnected
I'm the one that made you strong girl
Claiming credit for empowering someone, likely a romantic partner
But I could not make you stay
Despite efforts, unable to retain the person in the relationship
I just can't do it, it's much too hard,
Expressing the difficulty of a task
I drive around alone at night up and down the boulevard
Driving alone at night, perhaps contemplating life
I just can't do it, I feel so old
Feeling aged and worn
It looks like the sun is shining but the wind's blowing cold
Despite appearances, the emotional climate is harsh
I just can't do it, it's gone too far
Acknowledging a situation has progressed irreversibly
I sit at home alone at night just wondering where you are
Lonely reflections wondering about the whereabouts of a person
And I've been standing still so long
Remaining in a stagnant state for an extended period
My minds a million miles away
Mentally distant, not fully engaged in the present
I'm the one that made you strong girl
Attributing strength to oneself in a relationship
But I could not make you stay
Despite efforts, the person could not be retained
I just can't do it, no matter how hard I try
Struggling despite earnest attempts
You don't come around anymore but I know the reason why
Absence of someone explained, understanding the reason
I just can't do it, it's way too late
Realizing a situation is too far gone to rectify
I hang on with all my might I can't accept this fate
Clutching onto hope despite an inevitable outcome
I just can't do it, I feel so bad
Feeling emotionally distressed
I sit around and think about the chances that I've had
Reflecting on missed opportunities and choices
And I've been hurting for so long
Enduring pain or emotional suffering for an extended period
You're a million miles away
The person is emotionally distant or unattainable
I'm the one that made you strong girl
Claiming responsibility for someone's strength but unable to keep them
But I could not make you stay
Reiteration of the inability to retain the person
But I could not make you stay
Repetition of the acknowledgment of failure
No, I could not make you stay
A final confirmation of the inability to make the person stay
