Introduction
Have you ever been hit by a wave of disbelief when you hear news that feels like it just couldn’t be real? That’s the heart of “This Can’t Be True” by Eddie Holman. With a voice that soars effortlessly between smooth and soulful, Holman delivers a message we can all relate to—those moments when reality seems to shatter, and you’re left asking, “How can this be happening?”
“This Can’t Be True” isn’t just another heartbreak anthem; it’s a soul-stirring reflection of vulnerability and denial. You can almost picture Holman in the studio, pouring his heart into every note, like he’s experiencing the heartbreak himself. The song’s gentle melody and rich instrumentation wrap around his vocals, making the lyrics even more impactful. Holman’s talent lies in the way he captures raw emotion without ever losing his smooth, velvety tone.
One of the things that make “This Can’t Be True” so memorable is the way Holman uses his falsetto. There’s a sweetness to it, a soft cry that underscores the pain and confusion of the lyrics. It’s as if he’s standing in front of you, shaking his head, whispering, “No, this can’t be happening. It just can’t.” That’s what makes the song so powerful: it’s not just a performance—it’s a story unfolding in real time.
Lyrically, the song explores that universally human experience of wanting to reject reality. It’s about being blindsided by loss, be it a breakup, a sudden betrayal, or even an unexpected goodbye. There’s a rawness to the words that makes you feel like you’re sitting right there with Holman, sharing in his disbelief and heartache.
But despite the sadness, there’s a beauty in the song that lingers long after the final note. It’s a reminder that music has this incredible ability to express emotions we can’t quite put into words. “This Can’t Be True” is more than just a song—it’s a moment captured, a feeling immortalized.

Lyrics
(Doo-ooh-woo-ooh)
(Doo-ooh-woo-ooh)
This can’t be true, girl
(Doo-ooh-woo-ooh)
Your love for me, girl
(Doo-ooh-woo-ooh)
Just yesterday you saw me walking home
You took my hand and asked me to walk you home
And I felt good inside, sweetheart
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-ooh-ooh)
I felt good inside, sweetheart
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-ooh-ooh)
This can’t be true, girl
(Doo-ooh-woo-ooh)
Are you for real, girl
(Doo-ooh-woo-ooh)
Or am I dreaming dreams about you
Or am I dreaming dreams that can’t come true
Well I feel good inside, sweetheart
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh-oh
This can’t be true, girl
Your love for me, girl
Or am I dreaming dreams about you
Or am I dreaming dreams that can’t come true
Well, I feel good inside, sweetheart
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh-oh, I feel good inside, sweetheart
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-ooh-ooh)
This can’t be true, girl
(This can’t be true, girl)
Your love for me, girl
(This can’t be true, girl)
This can’t…
