“I Can’t Fix You” by The Living Tombstone, released in 2016, delves into the struggle of self-destructive tendencies. The lyrics convey pain, guilt, and loneliness stemming from a sense of brokenness. The song emphasizes the potential for change and healing, regardless of past experiences.
Inspired by Five Nights at Freddy’s, the song references Circus Baby. However, its broader message relates to anyone who has felt irreparable, making it universally relatable.
I Can’t Fix You LYRICS
[Verse 1: Crusher-P]
I’ve been trying for so long to sing you the right song
To show you something different every day
So you hear what I have to say—puzzle pieces
And now, we’re here at a standstill
I wonder if you feel the kind of pain that rips your insides out
That’s something I know all about
Shocking, ain’t it?
[Chorus: Crusher-P]
Is it because I can’t be her?
Made your mistakes and make me hurt
I can’t fix you
Is it because I can’t be her?
Made me awake and make me hurt
I can’t fix you (I can’t fix you)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Crusher-P]
I can feel my heart breaking, mistakes I’ve been making
I’m running out of patience to pretend
This isn’t how I’ll let it end, my feigning fading
You’ve been mourning your loss here
And that’s grinding my gears
How can a human lose their self-control?
There’s nothing left to make you whole
I’m done explaining
[Chorus]
Is it because I can’t be her?
Made your mistakes and make me hurt
I can’t fix you
Is it because I can’t be her?
Made me awake and make me hurt
I can’t fix you
[Interlude: Crusher-P & The Living Tombstone]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge: Crusher-P]
This is what happens when you leave it to somebody else
If you want it done right you should just do it yourself
You oversaturate your world with nothing but machines
You might make everyone happy, but you’re dead inside
Just like me
[Verse 3: Crusher-P]
And now we’re here at a standstill
I wonder if you feel the kind of pain that rips your insides out?
That’s something I know all about
Shocking, ain’t it?
We have a lot more in common than you would be calm with
It’s like we’re the same person, me and you
We both don’t know what we can do
[Chorus: Crusher-P]
Is it because I can’t be her?
Made your mistakes and make me hurt
I can’t fix you
Is it because I can’t be her?
Made me awake and make me hurt
I can’t fix you
Is it because I can’t be her?
Made your mistakes and make me hurt
I can’t fix you
Is it because I can’t be her?
Made me awake and make me hurt
I can’t fix you
