I can't stand losing you
Klaxons vs. The Police Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you

I see you've sent my letters back
And my L.P. records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care, so I won't cry
And you'll be sorry when I'm dead
When all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full, to swallow my pride

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing




I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song “Can’t Stand Losing You” by Klaxons vs. The Police speaks about a man who is almost desperate to try and win back his former lover. The lyrics show the man's attempts to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend, but it seems that she doesn't want anything to do with him anymore. He talks about how her girlfriends have told him that she doesn't want to see him ever again, and her brother is threatening to kill him.


The lyrics are full of desperation and heartache as the man tries to come to terms with the fact that the woman that he loves is gone from his life. He can't stand the thought of losing her and is willing to do whatever it takes to win her back. However, she's made up her mind and doesn't want him around anymore.


The chorus of the song repeats the title line “I can't stand losing you” several times, highlighting the desperation that the man is feeling. He feels as though he has lost everything that mattered to him and can't imagine going on without her. The song, written by Sting, is an emotional plea for love and forgiveness from someone who has lost the person they love, and it is a theme that is relatable to many people.

I've been trying to get in touch with you all day


And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say

You want nothing to do with me anymore


And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
Your brother is very angry with me and is very intimidating

But I'm not prepared to go on like this
I can't continue living like this any longer


I see you've sent my letters back
You've returned all the letters I sent you


And my L.P. records and they're all scratched
You've taken my records and damaged them before returning them

I don't see any reason to continue living


When nobody listens to a word I say

Losing you is too much for me to handle


I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you
I can't bring myself to lose you

I can't bear the thought of losing you

Losing you is unbearable


I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing,
I can't stand the idea of losing you


I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing,
I can't take losing you


I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you.
I just can't handle losing you
