Lyrics for Can't Take It as interpreted by BrandNew1208

Can't Take It Lyrics
You speak to me
I know this will be temporary
You ask to leave
But I can tell you that

I've had enough
I can't take it
This welcome is gone
And I've waited long enough
To make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I want you gone

Step up to me
I know that you've got something buried
I'll set you free
You set conditions but

I've had enough
I can't take it
This welcome is gone
And I've waited long enough
To make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I want you gone

Come back home
Won't you come back home
You step in line you've got a lot to prove
It comes and goes
Yeah it comes and goes
A step in time yeah it's a lot to move
Know this will temporary
I know this will be temporary
I know this will be but

I've had enough
I can't take it
This welcome is gone
And I've waited long enough
To make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I want you gone

I can't take it
This welcome is gone
And I've waited long enough
To make it
And if you're so strong
You might as well just do it alone
And I want you gone

Best song on the cd.

I think this is about a relationship gone bad, or a guy tormented by a girl that he nevertheless is still attracted to... and even though she pisses him off or fucks him over, he can't permanantly get rid of her. Which is the reason for the line "I know this will be temporary".

I always got the impression he's with a girl who has massive mood swings mayeb on like a monthly bases maybe on a day to day basis. The point it, sometimes she's up and sometimes she very down.
and he's simply had enough of it.
"I've waited long enough
To make it"
even though he knows none of the moods last forever
"I know this will be temporary"
"It comes and goes
Yeah it comes and goes"
And in spite of wantng her to go or him wnating to leave her, he tsill wants her and wants to help her
"I know that you've got something buried"
"Come back home
Won't you come back home"

About him loving this person so much and the other person always does something to mess up the realtionship. somehow everytime this happens he forgives her becuase he loves her. Everytime she leaves he wants her back even though she messes everything up.

Oh my god! I love this song so much!
Especially the part
"Come back home
Won't you come back home
You step in line you've got a lot to prove
It comes and goes
Yeah it comes and goes
A step in time yeah it's a lot to move
Know this will temporary
I know this will be temporary
I know this will be but I've had enough"

The second voice...."know this will be temporary"...well, love it so much!

i love how it sounds muffled in the beginning and it gets clearer. its SOOO GOOD.
"Come back home
Won't you come back home
You step in line you've got a lot to prove
It comes and goes
Yeah it comes and goes
A step in time yeah it's a lot to move"

BEST PART OF THE SONG you can hear his voice so well. and he sings with himself. i love this song!

Jenezzy, I get what you're saying, makes sense cause he says, "Know this will be temporary". He just doesn't want to deal with her attitude anymore. He has to get on and find someone that has more self control. It would make it easier for him and her.

I noticed the comment above about how the lyrical part "And I want you gone" should be "And I'll watch you go" Even in the CD case it shows "And I'll watch you go"

But after listening to the song very carefully, I believe he alternates between the two! The last two stanzas it is clear he says "And i want you gone" then at the very last stanza the last line is "And i'll watch you go" so I think it's both, and they alternate it in the song. Which only makes the song that much more interesting and clever. It's a very powerful song. I just went thru a very bad breakup myself... still going thru it really lol. And it's just like that, i took her back before but she was keeping secrets "I know you have something buried". It's very true. And the lines about how you have something to prove thats true, and the best part is "A step in time yeah it's alot to move" is basiucally saying "Lets start over and go back to the time before you left" but thats way too hard to do, and that is alot to move past.

A very deep meaningful song for me, and i'm sure not the only one who has gone thru it.

He's given up, isn't he? He can't take the strain of a relationship, and calls it quits.

I agree with Fallen Leaves, probably because thats how I relate to this song...
I just love the strings in this song...its so musically simple, but the lyrics are more poignant due to the simplicity.
Oh and everytime I hear this song I hear the last line of the chorus as 'I watch you go' and I think that makes more sense in the context of the song...not 100% sure though...

The strings in this piece are amazing, really pushing the song emotionally, without making it obnoxious.

In my opinion, the song is about a very unhealthy relationship -- one is giving all, and getting abused (mentally) while the other is the abuser....it's some kind of thing where the good times are so good it keeps him there, but when it's bad, he wants to go but can't just leave. He's had enough. He has worked and worked to make things better, and normal, but they aren't -- "I've waited long enough to make it". She thinks she is strong enough, and doesn't let him in -- he thinks she might as well just do it alone. It's basically about an non-mutual relationship where one person really takes advantage of the other.
