Micah Jay – “Can’t Explain”

Micah Jay admits to his faults in a breakup via “Can’t Explain.” Over a bedroom R&B beat, the musician sings about attempting to move on. But, to his dismay, she rejects his efforts. 

“I really played myself/Since you been gone my life hasn’t been the same/I keep calling my new girl your name,” he sings. “I guess ’cause I don’t have you anymore, that’s why you’re constantly on my brain/Now I get the pain that you said you feel in your heart.” 

Elsewhere, Micah Jay explains why the relationship went south. 

“I knew the love was real/I just gotta swallow the pill and deal with being the one to blame for us not being together cause I rather be worrying about my needs instead of putting yours first,” he croons. “I didn’t pay attention to how much it hurt you that’s one of the things I promise to never do/But you knew there’s always a special place for you in my heart.” 

This vulnerable passage is followed by a sincere apology and introspective lyrics about his views on love. 

He sings, “I get too jealous, or I feel there too clingy manly I get tired of people too fast/That’s probably why my relationship never last or maybe I don’t show enough affection to the point where I have to question my past relationships.” 

The singer ends “Can’t Explain” by reflecting on the pain that’s stemmed from failed relationships.

He sings “I really messed up some special things pushed away some beautiful queen so I drown my feelings in a bottle of sorrow/’Cause when comes to love all I cause is pain.”
