Can't Stand Losing You
The Police (Bass) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
"Can't Stand Losing You" is a song by The Police that was released in 1978. The song is about a man who is desperate to save his failing relationship even though his girlfriend has made it clear that she no longer wants to be with him. He is so consumed with the fear of losing her and can't seem to move on, despite the fact that she has returned his letters and records. He feels helpless and hopeless, and the only way he sees out of his situation is through suicide.
The lyrics of "Can't Stand Losing You" is a straightforward tale of a desperate man who wants to hold onto his relationship at all costs. The song is written in the first person, which gives the listener a glimpse into the singer's intense emotional state. His sense of desperation is revealed in lines such as "I can't see the point in another day when nobody listens to a word I say" and "I'm too full to swallow my pride." Through these lyrics, the singer admits that he cannot handle the pain of losing his girlfriend and is considering suicide.
The chorus of "Can't Stand Losing You" is incredibly catchy and emphasizes the repeated phrase "I can't stand losing you" over and over again. The music heightens the sense of urgency that the lyrics convey, with a driving beat and an upbeat melody that seems to contrast with the song's darker themes.
Line by Line Meaning
I called you so many times today
I have been trying to reach you all day
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
I believe what your friends have told me about your feelings towards me
That you don't ever want to see me again
You have no interest in seeing me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
Your brother is threatening to harm me and he is very intimidating
I guess you'd call it cowardice
I understand if you think I am acting cowardly
But I'm not prepared to go on like this
I cannot continue living like this
I see you've sent my letters back
I have noticed that you returned my letters
And my L.P. records and they're all scratched
My vinyl records have been intentionally damaged
I can't see the point in another day
I do not see a reason to go on living
When nobody listens to a word I say
It feels like no one is paying attention to me
You can call it lack of confidence
You may interpret my actions as a lack of self-confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense
I do not want to keep living like this
I guess this is our last goodbye
This is our final farewell
And you don't care, so I won't cry
You appear to have no emotions about our situation, so I will not cry
And you'll be sorry when I'm dead
You will regret your actions when I am no longer alive
When all this guilt will be on your head
You will feel guilty for the way you treated me
I guess you'd call it suicide
You may view my actions as a form of suicide
But I'm too full, to swallow my pride
I cannot bring myself to give up my self-respect
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you
I cannot bear the thought of losing you
