Can't Stay
Breaking Free: Floral Friday's Unshackling Anthem
Lyrics
Enough compromising for you
Expressing frustration with compromising for the other person
Call my bluff I'll make sure that it's true
Challenging the other person to call their bluff and face the truth
If I can't it's been wasted on someone that I'll leave behind
Concern that efforts may be wasted on someone they'll leave behind
Yeah it's not fair that I won't see the light
Feeling it's unfair not to see the light in the situation
I won't stay alone with you
Refusing to stay alone with the other person
Knowing the things you do
Awareness of negative actions or behavior by the other person
You don't want me
Recognition that the other person doesn't want them
You don't know what you need
Belief that the other person doesn't understand their own needs
To hear somebody say
Desire to hear someone acknowledge that the relationship is over
That this is over long overdue
Expressing that the end of the relationship is long overdue
I can't stay with you, you
Stating the inability to stay with the other person
I can't stay with you, you
Reiteration of the decision to leave the other person
And if you start to worry about me
If the other person worries about them, they should stay away
Stay away can't you see that I'm free (ahh)
Emphasizing freedom and independence
Not one chance, you lost them all baby
Asserting that there's no chance left for the other person
I'm not scared no I'm feeling happy (yeah I'm just fucking happy)
Feeling unafraid and happy after ending the relationship
I won't stay alone with you
Reiterating the refusal to stay alone with the other person
Knowing the things you do
Recalling the negative actions or behavior of the other person
You don't want me
Recognizing that the other person doesn't want them
You don't know what you need
Belief that the other person is unaware of their own needs
To hear somebody say
Desire to hear confirmation that the relationship is over
That this is over long overdue
Reinforcing that the end of the relationship is overdue
I moved on and you should too
Having moved on and encouraging the other person to do the same
See it from in my shoes
Suggesting empathy by asking the other person to see it from their perspective
I found better you need some help
Asserting that they found someone better and suggesting the other person needs help
And maybe some day you will find
Expressing hope that the other person will find someone who treats them well
Somebody who can treat you, woah
Comparing how they treated the other person to what they deserve
How I treated you, you
Reiteration of the inability to stay with the other person
I can't stay with you, you
Comparing how they treated the other person to what they deserve
How I treated you, you (I won't stay alone with you)
Reiteration of the decision to leave the other person
I can't stay with you, you (I won't stay alone with you)
Reiteration of the inability to stay with the other person
How I treated you, you (I won't stay alone with you)
Reiteration of the decision to leave the other person
I can't stay with you, you (I won't stay alone with you)
Reiteration of the inability to stay with the other person
How I treated you, you (let me go, letting myself go)
Expressing the need to let go and allowing oneself to move on
I can't stay with you, you (let me go, letting myself go)
-How I treated you, you (let me go, letting myself go)
-I can't stay with you, you (let me go, letting myself go)
-(Let me go) letting myself go
Repetition of the theme of letting go and moving on
