 Struggling with End? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I think I've reached that point 
Where giving up and going on 
Are both the same dead end to me 
Are both the same old song 
I think I've reached that point 
Where every wish has come true 
And tired disguised oblivion 
Is everything I do 

Please stop loving me 
Please stop loving me 
I am none of these things 

I think I've reached that point 
Where all the things you have to say 
And hopes for something more from me 
Are just games to pass the time away 

Please stop loving me 
Please stop loving me 
I am none of these things 

I think I've reached that point 
Where every word that you write 
Of every blood dark sea 
And every soul black night 
And every dream you dream me in 
And every perfect free from sin 
And burning eyes 
And hearts on fire 
Are just the same old song 

Please stop loving me 
Please stop loving me 
I am none of these things 
I am none of these things 

I am none of these things

The Cure

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »
