I Can't Hear You No More
Ballard Russ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd want to make it up, I can't hear you no more
Now you know what it's like, and I can watch you begging
Like I was begging to you, like I did before
I can't hear you no more, I can't hear you no more, I won't come running again
I can't hear you no more, no it ain't like before, I'm learning to live again
Ain't I the one who called, when you stood so near me
Now you know what it's like, and I can watch you begging
Like I was begging to you, like I did before
I can't hear you no more, I can't hear you no more, I won't come running again
I can't hear you no more, no it ain't like before
I'm learning to live, learning to live, learning to live again
For too long you played a part, now it's lost the mystery
But no more can I hold on, I'm breaking the chains that tie me, yeah
I can't hear you no more, no it ain't like before
See me walk out the door, I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more, I can't hear you no more
I won't come running, I won't come running, I won't come running again
I can't hear you no more, no it ain't like before
See me walk out the door, I can't hear you no more
(repeats out)
When you stood so near me, you couldn't even hear me - that's all I should say
"I Can't Hear You No More" by Ballard Russ is a powerful song about a failed relationship. The lyrics depict a situation where the singer was once in a relationship with someone who broke their heart. The person who broke the singer's heart is now regretting their decision and trying to make amends, but the singer has moved on and is no longer interested in hearing what they have to say. The singer believes that they have learned to live again and is no longer willing to come running back to the person who hurt them.
The first verse is about the person who broke the singer's heart. The singer knew that they would eventually come back, and now they have. However, the singer is not interested in hearing them out anymore. In the second verse, the singer reflects on how the situation has changed. The person who once begged for forgiveness is now the one doing the begging, but the singer is no longer willing to listen.
The chorus, "I can't hear you no more," is a powerful statement that reinforces the singer's decision to move on from the failed relationship. The repeated lines stress that the singer has learned to live again and is not going to allow their emotions to get the best of them anymore.
The bridge, "For too long, you played a part, now it's lost the mystery, but no more can I hold on, I'm breaking the chains that tie me," is a summary of the song's overall theme. The singer has moved on from the past and is ready to embrace a new future without the person who broke their heart.
Overall, "I Can't Hear You No More" is a powerful song that speaks to anyone who has been through a failed relationship. The lyrics are relatable and impactful, and the melody is haunting and beautiful.

But no more can I hold on, I'm breaking the chains that tie me, yeah
I cannot hold on to our past anymore and need to break free to move on with my life
See me walk out the door, I can't hear you no more
I am leaving you behind and am no longer listening to your attempts to reconcile
I won't come running, I won't come running, I won't come running again
I will not come back to you or try to fix our relationship again
