| The daring of despair has led me back to my old home
|
| Paralyzed by patterns, squeezing blood out of a stone
|
| You’re sitting there before me, but I’m haunted by your ghost
|
| Cast up by the tempest here on some deserted shore
|
| I wish you loved me more
|
| Enough to stay when morning comes
|
| Oh the damage, oh the weight
|
| I wish it all were done
|
| 'Cause I just can’t stop loving you
|
| No matter what I do or how hard I might try
|
| I can’t let go, so still I cry
|
| 'Cause I just can’t stop loving you
|
| No matter what I do
|
| The butterfly flies to the light, but I head for the mire
|
| Captivated by your cruelty, tortured by desire
|
| We’re only bones and bruises now, sadistic, base, and vile
|
| You bring out all the worst in me, you make me like a child
|
| We’re toxic but it feels so good
|
| I’m crying through a smile
|
| We’re gutting all the ones we love
|
| But doing it in style
|
| 'Cause I just can’t stop loving you
|
| No matter what I do or how hard I might try
|
| I can’t let go, I die inside
|
| 'Cause I just can’t stop loving you
|
| No matter what I do
|
| Unending echoes in a resonating shell
|
| We have created our own hell
|
| All steeped in lies
|
| We dream too much to try to sleep
|
| This is the tyranny of weakness
|
| We could leave, but we won’t try
|
| 'Cause I just can’t stop loving you
|
| No matter what I do
|
| Or how hard I might cry
|
| I can’t let go or make this right
|
| 'Cause I just can’t stop loving you
|
| No matter what I do |
