This Can't Go On
Fading Love: Navigating a Relationship's Unraveling
Lyrics
Seven days ago, you said you won't let go
Seven days ago, a commitment was made not to end the relationship.
But oh, I think you will
Expressing doubt that the commitment will be upheld.
Between us now is so strange
The current state between the speaker and the partner is unusual or strained.
We're going through a change
They are undergoing a significant transformation or development in their relationship.
The party's over somehow
The enjoyable times seem to have come to an end.
Ohh
An expression of emotion, possibly reflecting sadness or realization.
I think we're gonna fall apart tonight
Anticipation of a relationship breakdown or falling apart tonight.
I think we're gonna fall apart tonight
-I think we're gonna fall apart tonight
-The feeling's gone, this can't on
A recognition that the emotional connection has dissipated, and the relationship can't continue.
Driving in the dark
Driving in the dark and searching for a spark symbolize confusion and uncertainty, with silence causing distress.
And searching for that spark
-Is it there? Cos I can't see it
-Who's sitting in my car?
-I don't know who you are
-And this silence kills me
-I think we're gonna fall apart tonight
Reiteration of the anticipation of a relationship falling apart.
I think we're gonna fall apart tonight
-I think we're gonna fall apart tonight
-The feeling's gone, this can't go on
Emphasizing that the current situation is unsustainable.
I should say something
Struggling to express feelings verbally, possibly due to the difficulty of facing the impending end.
But the words won't come out my mouth
-I'll probably just wait
Contemplating delaying the conversation until after physically parting ways.
Until I've dropped you home
-Then we can talk on the phone
-I think we're gonna fall apart tonight
Repeatedly expressing the expectation of the relationship falling apart.
I think we're gonna fall apart tonight
-I think we're gonna fall apart tonight
-The feeling's gone, there's something wrong
Acknowledging that something is wrong, and the emotional connection has deteriorated.
It's gone beyond, this can't go on tonight
Stating that the situation has reached an unsustainable point and can't go on.
