Sting - i can’t stand losing you

화자는 여러 번 연락을 시도했지만 상대방이 자신과의 관계를 끝내려 하면서 심한 상실감을 느낀다
그는 자신의 감정과 고통을 토로하고, 상대방이 자신을 잃은 후 후회할 것이라는 예감을 남긴다
결국 그는 삶의 의미를 잃고 갈등 속에서 내면의 고뇌를 표현한다

I've called you so many times today
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
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you
I see you 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 guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care, so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride
