Lyrics

Stop Loving Me
© 2024 Michael Hanson Cantwell

(Chorus:)
Stop loving me, darlin', let it go,
We're just chasing a memory, but it's cold as snow.
You're holding tight, but the feeling's gone,
Stop loving me, so I can move on.

(Verse 1:)
I see the way you look at me, like nothin's really changed,
But I can't keep pretending when it don't feel the same.
We've been holdin' on too long to what we used to be,
You're still in love, but babe, you gotta set me free.

(Pre-Chorus:)
I've tried to be honest, I've tried to be kind,
But you're holdin' on to what we've left behind.
I'm begging you now, though it's hard to be strong,
You gotta let me go, it's time to move along.

(Chorus:)
Stop loving me, darlin', let it go,
We're just chasing a memory, but it's cold as snow.
You're holding tight, but the feeling's gone,
Stop loving me, so I can move on.

(Verse 2:)
I know it's hard to hear the truth, but I can't lie no more,
This heart's already packed up, walkin' out the door.
Your arms still reach for me, but they can't pull me back,
We can't fix what's broken, babe, that's just a fact.

(Pre-Chorus:)
Every tear you cry, it cuts me deep,
But holding on to hope won't bring no relief.
It's time to face it, we've run out of time,
Please let me go, leave the past behind.

(Chorus:)
Stop loving me, darlin', let it go,
We're just chasing a memory, but it's cold as snow.
You're holding tight, but the feeling's gone,
Stop loving me, so I can move on.

(Bridge:)
I never meant to hurt you, never meant to leave,
But what we had is over, can't you see?
Every day you stay, you're breakin' me more,
I can't heal while you're knockin' on that door.

(Chorus:)
Stop loving me, darlin', let it go,
We're just chasing a memory, but it's cold as snow.
You're holding tight, but the feeling's gone,
Stop loving me, so I can move on.

(Outro:)
Please, stop loving me...
So I can move on.
