This Just Can't Be

This song was the first one and it started me on this journey.

The song expresses deep regret and longing after a relationship has ended. The narrator reflects on moments of beauty and calm that now feel empty because they are alone. They realize too late that their partner cared for them and that they missed the signs of heartbreak and emotional struggle. The chorus highlights their remorse for not listening and understanding sooner, leaving them with sorrow and a sense of loss. The bridge reveals a wish to make amends and an acknowledgment of the pain they caused. Overall, the song is about missed opportunities, regret, and the pain of realizing the importance of someone only after they are gone.
