I Don't Wanna Love You Anymore
Lany Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to love these sheets
Dark hair against the white
I missed watching you get dressed in our hazy bedroom light
It took a couple weeks
Last night I finally cried
I remembered us in London, your chocolate covered eyes

Sick of staring up at the ceiling
How'd you change your mind just like that?
The only way to get past this feeling
Is to tell myself you're not coming back

I don't wanna love you anymore
I don't wanna love you anymore
From the start, I never thought, I'd say this before
But I don't wanna love you anymore

You got that letter framed
Is it still up on that shelf?
It's the one I left on our bed
When you were out of town

Sick of staring up at the ceiling
How'd you change your mind just like that?
The only way to get past this feeling
Is to tell myself you're not coming back

I don't wanna love you anymore
I don't wanna love you anymore
From the start, I never thought, I'd say this before
But I don't wanna love you anymore
I don't wanna love you anymore
I don't wanna love you anymore
I can't forget, the way it felt, when you walked out the door
So I don't wanna love you anymore

Sometimes I just wanna talk for a minute
But I can't bring myself to call
Because I know that your heart's not really in it
And whatever we had is gone
Sometimes I just wanna talk for a minute
But I can't bring myself to call
Because I know that your heart's not really in it
And whatever we had is gone

I don't wanna love you anymore
I don't wanna love you anymore
From the start, I never thought, I'd say this before
But I don't wanna love you anymore
I don't wanna love you anymore (talk for a minute)
I don't wanna love you anymore




I can't forget, the way it felt, when you walked out the door
So I don't wanna love you anymore

Overall Meaning

The song "I Don't Wanna Love You Anymore" by Lany is a sad ballad about a breakup that's taking a toll on the singer. The opening lines indicate that the singer used to enjoy little things about their relationship like the feel of the sheets, the contrast of dark hair against white, etc. However, as time passed and their relationship deteriorated, the memories became haunting, and the singer found themselves staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep, and missing the past. It's tough for the singer to accept that the person they loved before and cared about so much is no longer the same. They're no longer in love with this person, and it takes them mere seconds to change their mind.


The singer is torn by the whole situation and can't seem to get past the feeling of not being able to love someone they once cared about deeply. They try to move on by telling themselves that the other person will never return, but it's easier said than done. The letter the singer left on the bed the last time the two were together serves as a reminder to the singer of all of the feelings they had with this person. Every once in a while, they want to reach out and talk to this person, but they know their heart's not in it.


Overall, "I Don't Wanna Love You Anymore" is a somber and heart-wrenching track about love lost, and how difficult it is to let go of someone you once cared about very much. The lyrics show how difficult it is to try to move on when the memories of the past hold so much pain and longing.

It took a couple weeks
Last night I finally cried
I remembered us in London, your chocolate covered eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Sick of staring up at the ceiling
How'd you change your mind just like that?
The only way to get past this feeling
Is to tell myself you're not coming back

I don't wanna love you anymore
I don't wanna love you anymore
From the start, I never thought, I'd say this before
But I don't wanna love you anymore
