Why Can't I
Unraveling Heartache: Lachlan Carney's 'Why Can't I' Emotion Revealed
Lyrics
Oh I didn't think this through
Expressing regret for not thinking carefully about a situation.
I was bending over backwards
Putting a lot of effort and sacrifice into something.
Cos I wanted you
Doing things for someone because of a strong desire to be with them.
You should know
Emphasizing the importance of mutual effort in a relationship.
That this thing takes two
Stressing the idea that a successful relationship requires effort from both parties.
It took everything in me
Describing the difficulty of facing challenges in the relationship.
To finally make it through
Overcoming obstacles to reach a point of resolution.
Whoa oh oh oh
An exclamation expressing emotional distress or realization.
Why can't I let you
Expressing difficulty in letting go of someone.
Why can't I let you
Repeating the struggle to let go, emphasizing the emotional challenge.
Go oh oh oh
A plea or question regarding the difficulty of moving on.
Why can't I let you
Reiterating the struggle to let go of the person.
Why can't I let you go
Continuing the expression of difficulty in moving on.
Why can't I let you
Repeatedly questioning the challenge of letting go.
Why can't I let you go
Reiterating the emotional difficulty of moving on.
Open up your eyes and then you'll see
Encouraging someone to see the truth by opening their eyes.
Everything you had when you were with me
Reminiscing about the positive aspects of the past relationship.
I didn't know it then but I know now
Reflecting on a lack of awareness in the past, gaining insight now.
I should've stopped the car
Expressing regret for not taking action in a crucial moment.
Should've turned around
Regretting not making a decision to change course in the past.
Oh oh
An exclamation expressing emotional distress or realization.
Oh oh
Repeating the emotional exclamation for emphasis.
Why can't I let you go oh oh
Reiterating the difficulty in letting go emotionally.
Oh oh
Repeating the emotional struggle of letting go.
Oh oh
Repeating the emotional plea to let go.
Why can't I let you go oh
Continuing the emotional struggle to let go.
Go oh
Further emphasizing the challenge of moving on.
Go oh
Repeating the plea for understanding the difficulty of letting go.
Why can't I let you go oh
Continuing the expression of difficulty in moving on emotionally.
Oh no
Expressing a sense of realization or regret for a past action.
I didn't mean
Clarifying that previous statements were not meant seriously.
Anything I said
Casting doubt on the sincerity of earlier remarks.
Maybe soon you'll see
Expressing hope for the other person to eventually understand.
Oh no
Repeating the idea that a previous situation was a mere illusion.
It was all a dream
Expressing the belief that clarity will come to the other person.
Maybe one day soon
Anticipating a future realization or understanding by the other person.
You'll finally see
Repeating the idea that the other person will eventually comprehend.
You'll see
Repeating the anticipation of the other person gaining insight.
You'll see
Reiterating the expectation that the other person will understand.
Why can't I let you go oh oh
Repeating the emotional plea for understanding and letting go.
