about

Struggling with the uncertainty of not knowing where you fit within a certain dynamic and the desire to abandon all posts, but sinking under the weight of responsibility to stay. Featuring an upbeat hook-driven melody, atmospheric harmonies and a grounding rhythm, “If I Can” from Halifax-based Good Dear Good balances the internal conflict of not knowing where you stand with someone that was once your world — while coming to terms with the realities of growing apart.

lyrics

Where did all my family go
Oh the fire's on to fight the snow
All the lights are on but no one's home
Just be true with me now
Are you cool with me now
You'll never know it like I do
And I'll never know it quite like you
So what's the point in comparing bruises
Just be true with me now
Just be true with yourself
Stop your fuckin' around

Just tell me you'll be fine on your own
And I'll never bother you again
That's the problem, I don't know
If I can, If I can

What's going on with ya now
Got it figured out
'Cause last I heard you were
One thought from breaking down
But where else can I go when you're too slow
Where else can I go when you're too slow

Just tell me you'll be fine on your own
And I'll never bother you again
That's the problem, I don't know
If I can, If I can

I can't stand for you darlin'
I know it's hard
But don't give up on me
Unless you're better on your own
Then just

Tell me you'll be fine on your own
And I'll never bother you again
That's the problem, I don't know
If I can

Just tell me you'll be fine on your own
And I'll never bother you again
That's the problem, I don't know
If I can, If I can
If I can
