Easton Corbin: I Can't Love You Back Meaning
I Can't Love You Back Lyrics
I can love you all day
I can love you even more when I get home
I can love you every second
to the ends of the earth
Where needing you's the only thing that's on
my broken one track mind
(Chorus)
Girl, I...
-
He loved her. He really loved her, but no matter where she went; died or left him he can't love her [Back]. This song at first made me think her leaving him but then i just watched the music video and it brought me to tears. When you love someone so much and they leave, unexcpectly in this case.. it hurts.
-
i think this song means he can love her, but he says he cant love her back, because she has died and he feels hurt that he cant share his love with her.
-
I believe the song interpreted from the video explains His relationship with this girl is Over or Dead, Which is represented from the Car Accident, and that No matter how much he Loves Her he can't love her BACK to him...So this leaves the final Interpretation of that She Left him cause she didn't feel the same way or that he made a mistake that he can't make up for and she won't forgive him and once again the Crash represents the end to their relationship
-
well, I have never seen the video, so reading the prior posts helps me to understand the lyrical implications here. What about this angle: He can't love her back, because she is not there to love him. She loves him...then he can love her back.
-
I think it means that he can't love her back to life, but i believe it also means, when you love somebody and they love you too, it means they love you back. Well if that person is gone, there is no way for them to love you back, which means he can't love her back because she's gone, if that makes sense.
-
Everyone is interpretating that he's the one full of love. Through the song he is saying how he can love, but he just can't love her back. Maybe she's the one loving him, but he doesn't love in return, and all the ways he says he could love is IF he did love in return.
-
If you look at the way she says goodbye to him before she leaves his house it looks as if shes breaking things off with him and coincidentally she dies shortly after so I think there could be a double meaning to the song. Not only can he not win her back by loving her he then cannot love her back to life because she dies.
-
Maybe because I am living this song right now, it makes perfect sense to me. Obviously he is in love with her and she is still alive. The phrase "love her back" means that she has moved on from being a couple and no matter how much he loves her that won't change her feelings or bring her back. The truck in the video is just a metaphor of a large change or shift in their relationship. We have all been in love and no matter how much we loved the other person it never was enough to make them stay.
-
Yeah the video shows her dying but what if that's not the case what if he loves her with all of his heart but it just isn't enough for her so its not really her dying its their love but they use her to symbolize it
. He could call her all of the time or do whatever she wants but no matter what she is still hungry for more so its killing his love forher -
I think like all lyrics this song is open to interpretation. It can mean something different to each of us depending on how it fits into our own lives and experiences! Could mean that she died. Could mean she moved on, got married etc. Could mean he messed up so badly that she can't forgive him... Wonderful song no matter how each of us incorporates it into our own life.
-
he can love her for all it is worth call write her letter pray about it but he could never love her enough to make her come back to him because she doesnt want to come back.
-
He cant say "i love you too" because she has passed away. and the hardest part is she isnt there to tell him the same thing
-
Corbin said: " The song can mean different things for different people. She could have died, she could have left him—people can interpret it the way they feel."
“I Can’t Love You Back” goes through all the ways a man wants to love his woman except for the fact that the woman is not returning. The chorus plays: “I can love you with all my heart, but the hardest part is, I just can’t love you back. He can't love her back because she is not there to love back. -
if you listen to just the lyrics without seeing the video interpretation, I think it could also mean that he can't love her backwards. maybe a couple has reached a point where the love they have for one another, yet still strong, isn't the same as it used to be or feel how it used to feel. so he's reassuring her that he does love her, more than he ever has, and will continue to love her no matter what changes in their lives, because love can only grow and go forward, not backwards.
-
It means that no matter how much he loves her that since she has passed away, his love is not going to make her come back to life. He can't love her back to life. Thats what it means when he says I can't love you back.
