I Can't Stand You by Psycho (2024)

Well, they thought they were made for each other
One thinking of one another
Never thinking just for one second
She would take a different attraction

We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that

Oh no

I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you
Can't go on without you, yeah
I can't go on without you

Oh so, what's the point in breaking my sweet heart?
She wanted me to let down my guard
Well, you know what they say, it's better that way
So, so you better hush and walk away

We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no

I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh Lord
Can't go on without you, ooh ooh
I can't go on, won't go on, living on, without you

Where was I supposed to wait for you, sweetheart?
And hide away the shame
Yes I keep it all inside, all the thought that cross my mind
I do all the things I regret and we don't want that

We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
Oh no

I can't, I can't, I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh lord
Go on without you, ooh ooh
I can't go on without you, babe
Yeah

Ah, she loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
My love's gon' love me

Oh so what is left but a broken man?
Cause nothing hurts like a woman can

I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh yeah
Can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh
Oh without you, Lord, without you
Without you, babe

Oh Lord
Yo

In the lyrics to "I Can't Stand You" by Psycho, the song tells the story of a relationship that was once believed to be perfect for each other. The singer reflects on how they thought they were meant to be together, always thinking of each other. However, there comes a moment of realization when one of them is attracted to someone else, leading to a shift in the dynamic of their relationship.

As the song progresses, the singer expresses their inability to go on without their partner. They emphasize this point repeatedly, underlining the deep emotional dependency they feel towards the other person. The desperation and longing in these lines portray a sense of helplessness and vulnerability that comes with the end of a significant relationship.

The contemplation on love and loss is depicted through the lines "She loves me, she loves me not," highlighting the uncertainty and fragility of relationships. The final lines encapsulate the raw emotions of the singer as they come to grips with the idea that nothing hurts quite like the pain inflicted by a loved one. Overall, the song delves deep into the complexities of love, heartbreak, and the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship.

Well, they thought they were made for each other
Both parties believed they were perfect for each other

One thinking of one another
Each person only thinking of the other

Never thinking just for one second
Not considering an alternate outcome even for a moment

She would take a different attraction
She would be drawn to someone else

We don't want that
We don't desire that outcome

I can't go on without you
I am unable to continue living without you

Oh so, what's the point in breaking my sweet heart?
Why would you want to hurt me?

She wanted me to let down my guard
She wanted me to be vulnerable

So, so you better hush and walk away
You should remain quiet and leave

Where was I supposed to wait for you, sweetheart?
Where was I expected to be there for you?

And hide away the shame
And conceal my embarrassment

I do all the things I regret and we don't want that
I engage in actions I later wish I hadn't

Ah, she loves me
Oh, she has feelings for me

She loves me not
But at times she doesn't love me

Cause nothing hurts like a woman can
Because no pain compares to that inflicted by a woman
