Tank’s longevity in the r&b and the acting world has been something to behold, and over the years, he has continued to release new music that fits that grown person’s r&b aesthetic. When you’re older, you have a lot more wisdom to share when it comes to relationships, and that is exactly what he delivered his fans with his latest track called “Can’t Let It Show.”
This track is packed with emotion as it is a piano ballad that features Tank delivering some reflective lyrics about love, heartbreak, and what it means to be a good partner. Tank looks at things from the perspective of the woman he has disappointed, and how her tears are eating him up inside. It’s definitely a somber note but it makes for a great song that forces you to grapple with your own experiences.
Tank – Can’t Let It Show
[Intro]
Oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, no
Oh, oh, ooh woah, ooh woah, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
How did I lose you? (How did I lose you?)
How did I blow that? How can we go back?
Why did I not choose you? Ooh-ooh
Instead of a good time, I wasted your good time
[Pre-Chorus: Chorus]
I should’ve been everything I promised
I should’ve not had to learn it from this
You shoulda been first
I know it’s emotional, but you’re not emotional, she said
[Chorus]
I should be crying but I just can’t let it show
I should be crying but I can’t stop thinking
All the things you should’ve said that you never said
All the things you should’ve done that you never did
Always said, “I don’t know what I should be feeling”
Oh, darling
[Verse 2]
I’ve been stupid, thoughtless
I’ve been useless, heartless
I’ve been violating and thinking it wasn’t ever gonna catch up
I wasn’t ever gonna ‘fess up, and that’s real
[Pre-Chorus]
I should’ve been everything I promised (I should’ve been)
I should’ve not had to learn it from this (Hmm-hmm)
You shoulda been first (Oh my God)
I know it’s emotional, but you’re not emotional, she said
[Chorus]
I should be crying but I just can’t let it show
I should be crying but I can’t stop thinking
All the things you should’ve said that you never said
All the things you should’ve done that you never did
Always said, “I don’t know what I should be feeling”
Oh, darling
[Bridge]
Please (Cry)
Shoulda known you’re feeling something, please (Cry)
‘Cause if it hurts, I know you still care (Cry)
‘Cause if you don’t, I know you’re over it (Cry)
Oh, please, girl (Cry)
So that I know you’re feeling something, please (Cry)
‘Cause if it hurts I know you still care (Cry)
‘Cause if you don’t, then I know you’re over it (Cry)
Oh, she said, she said, she said, yeah
[Chorus]
I should be crying but I just can’t let it show (Can’t let it show)
I should be crying but I can’t stop thinking (I can’t stop thinking, yeah)
All the things we should’ve said that you never said (Oh, oh, yeah)
All the things you should’ve done that you never did (I should’ve done)
Always said, “I don’t know what I should be feeling” (What I should be doing)
Oh, darling
[Outro]
Make it go
Make it go away
