Stop I Don't Love You Anymore
Sharleen Spiteri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want to be with me
But you're still in love with me
And I just want to breathe
The way you move and sway
I'm resigned to say it's true
Oh, you're the only one to blame
Stop, I don't love you anymore
Oh, stop
Stop, I don't want you anymore
Oh, stop
Oh, I'm all cried out and now
I've got to put your mind at ease
You're still in love with me
And I gotta make you see
The fact of here and now
I won't deny, I can't erase
Oh, you're the only one to blame
So take that look off your face
Stop, I don't love you anymore
Oh, stop
Stop, I don't want you anymore
Oh, stop
You know I wanted so much more
I want it better than before
You know you didn't get it right
Gotta stop, I don't love you anymore
Oh, stop
You gotta stop, I don't want you anymore
Oh, stop
You gotta stop, gotta stop
Oh, stop
You gotta stop
In the song "Stop I Don't Love You Anymore," Sharleen Spiteri sings about wanting to end a relationship that has fallen apart. The lyrics reflect the confusion and mixed emotions that exist in a relationship that no longer works. In the first verse, Spiteri describes her partner's conflicted feelings, saying "you want to be with me, but you're still in love with me." She, on the other hand, has moved on and just wants to breathe without the weight of the relationship suffocating her. She accepts that it's true that her partner is the only one to blame for the failure of their love: his inability to let go and move on is what ultimately caused their breakup.
In the chorus, Spiteri repeats the title phrase "stop, I don't love you anymore" several times over. She emphasizes her desire to end things cleanly and put an end to the pain caused by the relationship. The second verse reiterates her feelings of wanting to move on and put things to rest. She tells her partner that he needs to accept the reality of their situation and stop holding onto false hopes that they can get back together. She points out that there is no going back and that he needs to accept the blame for their relationship's end.
Overall, the song is a testament to the pain and confusion of ending a long-term relationship. It explores the emotions and struggles that come with trying to move on and find closure in a relationship that has ceased to work. Through the song's lyrics, Spiteri provides a cathartic outlet for expressing feelings of regret, sadness, anger, and longing during this difficult time.
