What Can I Do
Mariana Kupfer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been so long since we've talked
And i have been here many times
I just don't know what i'm doing wrong
(chorus:)
What can i do to make you love me
What can i do to make you care
What can i do to get you there
There's only so much i can take
And i just got to let it go
And who knows i might feel better, yeah
If i don't try and i don't hope
(chorus)
No more waiting, no more, aching...
No more fighting, no more, trying...
Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way i'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just going to let it fly
(chorus x2)
And love me... love me...
The lyrics of Mariana Kupfer's "What Can I Do" express the feelings of a person who is trying hard to win someone's heart but failing constantly. She hasn't slept at all in days, which indicates the anxiety and restlessness she feels to get the person's love and attention. Despite repeated attempts, there is no progress, and she's lost confidence in herself. She wonders what she is doing wrong and seeks answers by questioning herself about the things she could do that might change the other person's feelings towards her.
The chorus of the song repeats the question of what she can do to make the person love and care for her. She's tried everything, but nothing seems to work. She continues to strive to find a way to make the person feel something for her. The lyrics suggest that the situation has become too difficult to handle, and the person might have to let go of their hopes.
The last verse speaks about a realization. The person begins to feel calm because they recognize that the power is not in their hands. They cannot force someone to love them, and the best approach is to let go and move on. The song's emotional intensity comes from the struggle to win love, the despair of losing, and finally the acceptance of the situation.

I haven't slept at all in days
I've been struggling to rest lately
It's been so long since we've talked
We haven't had a conversation in a while
And i have been here many times
I've experienced this before
I just don't know what i'm doing wrong
I'm uncertain about my actions
What can i do to make you love me
How can I earn your affection
What can i do to make you care
What must I do to show you I matter
What can i say to make you feel this
What words can I use to evoke this emotion
What can i do to get you there
What actions will lead you to that point
There's only so much i can take
I'm reaching my limit
And i just got to let it go
I need to release this burden
And who knows i might feel better, yeah
Perhaps I'll experience relief
If i don't try and i don't hope
If I don't make an effort or wish for change
No more waiting, no more, aching...
I won't endure more waiting or suffering
No more fighting, no more, trying...
I won't engage in any further battles or attempts
Maybe there's nothing more to say
Perhaps there's no further point to speaking
And in a funny way i'm calm
Strangely, I'm feeling at peace
Because the power is not mine
Because I lack control
I'm just going to let it fly
I'll allow it to take its own course
And love me... love me...
And hopefully, you'll love me

Mari, as vezes tem muita mãe casada que é “solo” também 🥺
Infelizmente, pai não é garantia de nada.

Verdade.

Ser "MÃE SOLO por OPÇÃO" é muito muito diferente de ser MÃE SOLO por abandono do pai. São situações semelhantes, mas ao mesmo tempo diferentes. Seria bom se tivesse esse relato, essa comparação.
Adorei a história, saber detalhes de uma inseminação independente.

eu era mãe solo casada,até que dei um basta e agora sou mãe solo solteira

@Maria Pereira Ser mãe solo é assumir a responsabilidade de ambos
Como bem comentou a Rafaela Marques, tem muita mãe casada que é mão solo... não é o meu caso, sou mãe solo por circunstancia da vida mesmo,
Abandono sempre existiu e sempre existirá...
Cabe a cada um resolver o que fazer com "a dor do abandono".. Se espelhar e abandonar também ou arregaçar as mangas e fazer diferente do que fizeram conosco...
Para quem escolher o segundo caminho posso garantir que a satisfação e o amor virão de uma forma tão intensa que vocês irão agradecer demais tanto amor que um filho de família unilateral pode oferecer...

É o meu caso

Eu sou uma das mulheres que se inspirou em você para me tornar mãe solo! Lembro de ter ouvido a sua história quando o programa ainda estava começando, e achei incrível! Hoje grávida de 9 semanas, também por inseminação, muito orgulhosa da minha decisão de iniciar esse caminho sozinha! Obrigada por compartilhar a sua história! ❤
