Can't Take It
AAR Lyrics

You speak to me
The person is trying to communicate with the singer.

I know this will be temporary
The singer knows this conversation is not permanent.

You ask to leave
The other person wants to end the conversation.

But I can't tell you that I've had enough
The singer is tired of this person, but doesn't want to tell them yet.

I can't take it
The singer can no longer handle this situation.

This welcome is gone
The person is no longer welcome in the singer's life.

And I've waited long enough
The singer has been patient for a while, but can't wait anymore.

To make it
The singer wants to move on and succeed.

And if you're so strong
If the other person thinks they are capable enough,

You might as well just do it alone
they should try to handle situations without the singer's help.

And I'll watch you go
The singer will let the other person leave without any resistance.

Step up to me
The person comes closer to the singer.

I know that you've got something buried
The singer senses that the person is hiding something.

I'll set you free
The singer is willing to help the person come out of hiding.

You set conditions, but I've had enough
The person gives a condition for opening up, but the singer is no longer patient enough to comply.

Come back home, won't you come back home?
The singer wants the other person to return to where they were before.

You step in line, you got a lot to prove
The singer wants the person to behave properly and show their worth.

It comes and goes, yeah, it comes and goes
The situation alternates between success and failure.

A step in time, yeah, it's a lot to move
Overcoming each challenge takes time and effort.

I know this will be temporary
The singer reiterates that the current situation will not last forever.

And I've waited long enough
The singer reiterates their patience has run out.

To make it
The singer is determined to succeed regardless of whether the other person is present or not.

And if you're so strong
The singer believes the person can handle themselves on their own.

You might as well just do it alone
The person should try to succeed without the singer's help.

And I'll watch you go
The singer will not try to stop the other person from leaving on their own.

I can't take it
The singer repeats they cannot handle the current situation.

This welcome is gone
The singer repeats that the other person is no longer welcome.

And I've waited long enough
The singer reiterates that they have been patient for too long.

To make it
The singer repeats their determination to succeed.

And if you're so strong
The person should be capable enough on their own.

You might as well just do it alone
The person should try to handle everything without the singer's help.

And I'll watch you go
The singer will not stop the other person from leaving.
