Wait I Can’t Bear The Pain by Sabrielle is an extremely tearful song about abandonment and the much dreaded possibility of being left behind. Sabrielle articulates waiting for someone whose return seems highly unlikely with her raw and deeply emotional lyrics. The song carries a frank depiction of the ever exhausting thoughts that uncertainty brings in relationships, making it relatable to anyone who has suffered through loss and emotional detachment. 

Sabrielle vividly captures how she feels torn by somebody who is simultaneously pushing her away, depicting an advanced state of conflict. The repetitive “What if” questions depict insecurities that beg for answers, showing the sheer desperation of trying to grasp the situation while also being terrified of losing everything. These questions are what put a myriad of listeners within the heart of the song as it evokes such strong emotions. 

Compared with the detailed verses full of racing emotions and thoughts, “I don’t like waiting,” is a more direct statement that is much easier to grasp. The contrasting emotions emphasize the directness of the line, making it stand out even more. The song itself is simple, yet there is so much power within it. 

And Sabrielle simply crushes the listeners with the powerful bridge that some use as a weight, and compare staring at it to suffocating. While gasping for air, deterioration strikes and they stumble onto the floor. This image encapsulates the overwhelming encapsulation of emotions and questions that remain unresolved. Rather than find closure, she exists in an excruciating void, wishing that her loved one could restore her vitality.

“Wait I Can’t Bear” offers a stunningly unique introspective piece on love and its opposite, loss, and the terrain in between with the emotional scars that are left out. The way she Weaves the worldview into the honest lyrical piece of song translates Sabrielle’s artistry into an emotion that sends shivers down the spine of anyone who has felt neglected or lost in the unpredictability of someone else’s life.
