First time asking questions here, never thought I would one day facing such a weird problem. 

So I'm offering service to write lyrics for songs, specialized in Chinese Mandarin. 

Now I have a customer, who had order 6 songs' lyrics (3 full length songs + 3 short songs) in one order, which is a custom offer. 

I had completed the 3 full length songs' lyrics for them and deliver the file to them, but not through the "deliver", just file attachment as they request to have the lyrics completed one by one. 

Now here is the tricky part. I have some communication issue with this customer, not that I don't understand their words, but I don't know what they want in the lyrics. Though they are satisfy with what I had delivered, but I don't think I'm capable in continue the job for them; for each lyrics, I had gave them 3 revisions, because they gave me some feedback that they want the lyrics to goes in a certain way (this is the part that I don't understand how I could convey the meaning they want into the lyrics). I mean, even after they said that they are satisfied with the 3rd versions of the lyrics, I still don't get why the 3rd versions were okay and the other versions were not. They had tried their best to explain what they want, but maybe our brain just works too differently, I still can't understand even after they had send me some examples. 

This is why I think I'm not capable in continue this order. This had made me very depressed that I even burst into tears. I think I'm stressed out, and I've been thinking of cancelling this order ever since I started with the second lyrics. 

I contacted the customer and tell them that I can't continue this job for them, and request for the order to be cancel (I don't care about the service payment anymore, I just want this job to be cancel). But they are very satisfied with the lyrics I gave them, and wanted to continue the rest of the lyrics with me. 

We have been discussing this matter for about 2-3 hours, we both trying to persuade each other to cancel the order (me)/to continue the order (the customer), but we can't come to a mutual agreement on how to do next. 

I do offer a solution that they could come an order my service next month or so, as probably my emotion would be better by then, but they insist not to cancel order, and would rather extend the deliver time. But I seriously don't want to deal with this order anymore... 

They are nice person, I want this case to settle in a nice way, what should I do? Just leave it until the count down becomes "Very Late"? 

I want to cancel an order but my customer refuse to do so
