The project began as a solo effort by Graham in collaboration with Powell. After deciding that the songs they had written would be better suited for a group, they joined with Grimm and former member Kyle Kupecky and released their first EP as a group under the name Yellow Cavalier. After changing their name to Anthem Lights, the band eventually signed with Reunion Records, and, on May 11, 2011, released their self-titled debut album, including the lead single Can't Shut Up . Just recently, Kupecky announced his departure from the band, as he felt God leading him to work on a solo project. Anthem Lights' newest member, Joey Stamper, has taken his place.

Unlove You
Anthem Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every minute that goes by is getting longer
And this feeling deep inside is getting stronger
I need relief but honestly I have no regrets
The memory is just too sweet
I don't want to forget

I can't unlove you
I can't unsee those eyes
I can't unfeel this way
No matter what I try
I can't unlove you
I can't unlove you

I was broken, without a heart
You saved my life
I was sleeping, in the dark
You opened up my eyes
I need relief but honestly I have no regrets
The memory is just too sweet
I don't want to forget

I can't unlove you
I can't unsee those eyes
I can't unfeel this way
No matter what I try
I can't unlove you
I can't uncalm my mind
I can't unwant your touch
And I don't wanna try
I can't unlove you
I can't unlove you

I didn't see you coming
Now you're all I know
I'll never let you go
I didn't see you coming
Now you're all I know

I can't unlove you
I can't unsee those eyes
I can't unfeel this way
No matter what I try
I can't unlove you!
I can't uncalm my mind
I can't unwant your touch
And I don't wanna try
I can't unlove you
I can't unlove you
I can't unlove you
Unlove, unlove
I can't unlove you
Unlove, unlove
I can't unlove you
Unlove, unlove
I can't unlove you




Unlove, unlove
I can't unlove you
