About LinkBacksIs it possible to say "I can't more!" (Я не могу больше!), or only "I can't stand it more" is correct?
P.S. Or maybe "I can't stand it longer"?

In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

Firstly, don't use song lyrics, they contain non-standard language.
"I can't no more" is slang, it's grammatically incorrect and teaching it to foreigners, especially without explaining it is slang is not the done thing.
Secondly "I can't anymore" can only be used in a very narrow context, when the previous sentence or clause contains a verb it can relate to. Olya gave the Russian for what she was trying to say. "Я не могу больше!", which can work as a stand-alone phrase in Russian can be used in a general context.
Finding obscure references on the net and presenting them to non-native speakers is not helpful. Olya could have googled it herself, she's asking for opinion and explanation.

Оля, to keep it simple you can't say "I can't anymore!" by itself, and you "I can't no more" is very slangy and is something a very uneducated person would say.
