CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE

SONG FACTS


#1 - Written on a sad background

"Can't take anymore" were the words (in Faroese), that dear friend and fellow musician Rasmus Rasmussen had written on his chest before leaving this world.  


#2 - Different perspectives in verses and chorus

In the lyrics, the verses (eg. "Can't take anymore" and "I'll settle every score") are from Rasmus' perspective and the chorus (if lonliness ever finds you etc.) is from Remi's perspective. 


#3 - First song finished for the "Left behind" album

The song was the first song finished for the album and was considered as both opening track and as a single.


#4 - Only song to feature a twelve string guitar

The main riff of the song is played on an acustic twelvestring guitar as the only Mr. Conroy song so far. 

"CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE" LYRICS


VERSE 1

I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
In this circumstance, I find myself
I can't find a way out


VERSE 2

I'll settle every score
I'll settle every score
If we took the chance to rearrange
You would find no other way


CHORUS

So if loneliness ever finds you
and you try to make it out alive

And if hopelessness ever tries you
You just run away for a while
you just run way into the night


VERSE 3

Remember what it's for
Remember what it's for
It for all the ones you love and those
who came by when you’re down


VERSE 4

I won't lie anymore
I won't lie anymore
To myself everyone around me
need to make it right


CHORUS

So if loneliness ever finds you
and you try to make it out alive

And if hopelessness ever tries you
You just run away for a while
you just run way into the night
