Stop
Johnny Apple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
Now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true
Wrapped in his arms I see you across the street
And I can't help but wonder if he knows what's going on
You talk of love but you don't know how it feels
Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop before you go and break my heart
Ooh you'd better stop
Time after time I've tried to walk away
But it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
So I just resign myself to it every day
Now all I can do is to leave it up to you
Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop before you go and break my heart
Ooh you'd better stop
Stop if love me
now's the time to be sorry
I won't believe that you'd walk out on me
Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop before you go and break my heart
Ooh you'd better stop

The song also touches on the difficulty of trying to walk away from a relationship when your heart is torn in two.
The first verse of the song is a plea for understanding and acknowledgement from the person who has betrayed them. The singer reminds their lover that everything they have is because of them, and accuses them of not worrying about the fact that they might become dependent on the love they were given. The chorus is a warning to the lover that they need to stop before they hurt the singer even more by tearing them apart and breaking their heart. The second verse is a reflection on the difficulty of trying to walk away from the relationship when the person's soul is torn in two, and they are resigned to leaving the decision up to the lover.
Overall, the song "Stop" is a moving portrayal of betrayal, heartbreak, and the pain of loving someone who doesn't love you back. The lyrics are poignant and relatable, and the melody is hauntingly beautiful.
