Loving You
Sara S Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to crush it like the ashes of a cigarette
I try to smother out the embers but I just can't quit
If there's a way to put it out, I haven't found it yet
Haven't found it yet

It's like a habit, it's a craving running through my veins
It's an obsession, an addiction that I can't explain
If I give up everything there's one thing that'll still remain

It'll never change

'Cause I can't stop
No, I can't stop
No, I can't stop loving you

I try to pour it out like whiskey running down the drain
It's like trying to empty out a river in an endless rain
I've just accepted that resisting is a losing game
There's no other way

'Cause I can't stop
No, I can't stop
No, I can't stop loving you

I can't stop loving you
Baby, even if I wanted to
I can't stop
No, I can't stop
No, I can't stop
I can't stop
No, I can't stop
No, I can't stop loving you
I can't stop
No, I can't stop
No, I can't stop
No, I can't stop
No, I can't stop

No, I can't stop loving you
Ooo
