Can’t unlove you

Can’t unlove you 

Verse 1

I built my heart from broken glass/
Picked up my pieces from my past/
You were the first who held it down/
My confidence was underground/

Didn’t think that shit matter/
The pain couldn’t be handled/

The silence was louder than the pain/
But you stayed, you stayed, through my darkest days.




You’re the echo of every scar,
The reason I don’t fall apart.
And I tell myself it’s all I need—
But love like this cuts when it bleeds.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Every fight, every tear,
Ties me closer, keeps you near.
I don’t know who I’d be,
If you ever set me free.

⸻

Chorus

I can’t unlove you, I can’t let go,
This fire is built on the ashes I know.
We’re chained by the hurt, but I need it too,
’Cause I don’t see life if it’s not with you.

It’s a cruel devotion, it’s pulling me through,
I’m broken, but whole in the wreckage with you.
I can’t unlove you… no, I can’t unlove you.

⸻

Verse 2

The world says love should lift you high,
But ours was born from long goodbyes.
I found a home in all your flaws,
Even the wounds that mirror my own.

We’re a house built on shattered stone,
But somehow it feels like home.
Every crack just pulls me in,
I’d rather drown than learn to swim.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Every lie, every truth,
I still run straight back to you.
’Cause the pain feels like grace,
When I see your face.

⸻

Chorus

I can’t unlove you, I can’t let go,
This fire is built on the ashes I know.
We’re chained by the hurt, but I need it too,
’Cause I don’t see life if it’s not with you.

It’s a cruel devotion, it’s pulling me through,
I’m broken, but whole in the wreckage with you.
I can’t unlove you… no, I can’t unlove you.

⸻

Bridge

If healing means I lose your touch,
I’d rather never heal this much.
Don’t fix me, don’t set me free,
This trauma’s the tether that binds you to me.

⸻

Final Chorus

I can’t unlove you, I can’t let go,
This fire is built on the ashes I know.
We’re bound by the pain, and it feels like truth,
’Cause I don’t see life if it’s not with you.

It’s a dangerous mercy, it cuts me in two,
But I’d rather be broken than whole without you.
I can’t unlove you… no, I can’t unlove you.
