about

Can't stop.

lyrics

I never loved you
I couldn't even love myself
No

Take the notes from the old shoe box
Put them all in brand new locks
Smoke outside in dying light
Compulsively swiping right

Capricious youth in an hourglass
Time ran out, you can't turn back
Perfection is the real flaw
Morning light feels raw

Oooh I never loved you
I couldn't even love myself
No

Last time the night we had a chance
Thirty years a high school dance
An awkward time before the web
A week to watch our love ebb

Holding onto paper confessions
Without the need for hard questions
I kept my feelings to myself
And never did that serve me well

Moved away and never came back
I wanted to resent you but couldn't hack it
There was too much lust in my heart
Like a grave of lovers never apart

I was already dead without your laugh
No explanation for the missing half
Just a half-forgotten task
And an answer to a question I never asked

I never loved you
I couldn't even love myself
No

Obsession does funny things
Turns to fiction songs I sings
A rumination of immature noise
Was I still just boys being boys

Burn the notes in the fire
They're just paper from a good ol' liar
I could have been a thousand times kinder
I don't need a gentle reminder

I never loved you
I couldn't even love myself
No
