Can't Stop Loving You


When you had it

You can't forget it

You made me want it

Make me sick with it

If I could quit

I would

Find me a pill

A cure

Something I was sure

Would work

Give me the medicine

And I'll forget you

Forever

 

I cave

You give

And I come alive again

I want more

Before I even finish

I need it

Crave it

Crashing from it

How can I survive it

When I can't function without 

Without you

I got to have you back

You came back

And ran me off track

I'd give anything I had

To let it go

Move on

But it's too much

Never enough

Had enough

 

You leave

And I break down

I leave

And you burn down

I can't take it

Pushing you away

Only to claw you back in

Under my skin

I love you more

When you leave

I love you more

When I try not to

The harder I try

The more I cry

The more my senses slip away

The more I want it

The more I need it

And the more I love you

 

No control

Over my own senses

And body anymore

I'm losing my mind

Wasting time

On you

Over you

Falling to my knees

When you look at me

And say please

Wouldn't find this 

Anywhere else

Couldn't learn to cope

By myself

 

I know

By now

If you walked away 

I'd love you more

I know

By now

If you could learn to manage without

Somehow

I'd love you more

I know 

By now

The more fight you put up

The more I love you

I can't take it

Can't shake it

Can't stop loving you

Because we both know

I don't want to
