I could break down and cry Laugh it off and deny Draw lines in the sand and count on both hands All the reasons why This just won't work It'll be nothing but hurt I can swear that I don't and maybe one day I won't But for how hard I've tried I can't unlove you My heart can't unbreak I can't unfeel how it felt But feel so much myself, my whole body ached And I can't unknow this Lord, I wish I knew how But I can't unlove you So come love me for now If I were twenty-five I know just what I'd do I would have already kissed till I was drunk on your lips A thousand times too few But we have other lives And we know it ain't right This is going nowhere, if I'm with you I don't care Take me nowhere tonight They call it fire But it feels just like drowning Well, the weight of my burning desire Closing in all around me I wasn't lost until you found me And I can't unlove you My heart can't unbreak I can't unfeel how it felt But feel so much myself my whole body ached And I can't unknow this Lord, I wish I knew how But I can't unlove you So come love me for now I can't unlove you So come love me for Now
