Go if you want to 
I never tried to stop you 
Know there's a reason 
For all of this you're feeling 

Love its not my call 
You couldn't ever love me more 
You couldn't love me more 
You couldn't love

Me I don't show much 
Its not that hard to hide you 
See in a moment 
I can't remember how to 

Be all you wanted 
I couldn't ever love you more 
I couldn't love you more 
I couldn't love

You want me to cry and play my part 
I want you to sigh and fall apart 
We want this like everyone else 

Stay if you want to 
I always wait to hear you 
Say there's a last kiss 
For all the times you run this 

Way its not my fault 
You couldn't ever love me more 
You couldn't love me more 
You couldn't love

Love me more
Couldn't ever love me more 
I couldn't love you more 
I couldn't love

You want me to lie not break your heart 
I want you to fly not stop and start 
We want us like everything else 

Maybe we didn't understand 
Not just a boy and a girl 
Its just the end of the
End of the world 

Me i don't say much 
Its far too hard to make you 
See in a moment 
I still forget just how to 
Be all you wanted 
I couldn't ever love you more 

I couldn't love you more [Repeat: x4]

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 »
