Lyrics
You can try to be long but you can't
You can attempt to prolong a situation, but it's impossible.
But you can't, but you can't
Emphasizes the inability to extend or sustain the effort.
But you can't
Reiteration of the idea that the endeavor is futile.
You can try to hang on, but you can't
One can try to hold on, but success is unattainable.
But you can't, but you can't
Reinforces the impossibility of maintaining the grip.
Try try try, but you know you'll never win
Encourages repeated attempts, but suggests inevitable failure.
'Cause I can't give in to you
Expresses the speaker's determination not to yield to the other person.
You can say that you'll stay but you can't
One may claim they will remain, but it's an empty promise.
But you can't, but you can't
Emphasizes the impossibility of the stated commitment.
But you can't
Repetition of the idea that the commitment is unattainable.
Turn away far away, but you can't
Suggests attempting to turn away, but it's not achievable.
But you can't, but you can't
Emphasizes the difficulty or impossibility of turning away.
Cry, cry cry 'til you're down on bended knee
Encourages crying, but the speaker won't be swayed.
But you know I'll never be with you
Despite tears and pleading, the speaker won't be with the other person.
All your lies hypnotized, but you can't
Alludes to deceptive statements, yet they won't have an impact.
But you can't, but you can't4
Reiterates the ineffectiveness of the lies mentioned earlier.
But you can't
Reiteration of the idea that the lies won't succeed.
All the while, try to smile, but you can't
Suggests attempting to smile in difficult situations, but it won't work.
But you can't, but you can't
Reinforces the inability to find solace through a forced smile.
Try try try, but you know you'll never win
Encourages repeated attempts, but the outcome won't change.
'Cause I won't give in to you
Reaffirms the speaker's refusal to yield to the other person.
