Unlove You
Troy Cartwright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

′Cause the one thing I can't do is unlove you

If I could un-kiss your lips
And never know how good it tastes
If I could unfeel your fingertips
Maybe then I′d feel okay

I been up for days, staring at a drink
Tryna un-remember every little thing
Tryna hit delete on me and you
But I don't know how to

If I could unlove you, I would've done it by now
If I could unwant you, I wouldn′t be out front your house
Calling you up, 3 a.m., hoping you′re up and you let me in
'Cause the one thing I can′t do is unlove you
(The one thing I can't do is unlove you)

If I could undo knowing you, that′s a risk I'd be willing to take
But I can′t unbruise black and blue
This heart just can't catch no break
Been a couple weeks, staring at the wall
Tryna figure out how to unfall
To forget it all, to be better off, but I don't know how to

If I could unlove you, I would′ve done it by now
If I could un-want you, I wouldn′t be out front your house
Calling you up, 3a.m., hoping you're up and you let me in
′Cause the one thing I can't do is unlove you
(′Cause the one thing I can't do is unlove you) (yeah-yeah)
(The one thing I can′t do is unlove you)

If I could unlove you, I would've done it by now
If I could unwant you, I wouldn't be out front your house
Calling you up 3a.m., hoping you′re up and you let me in
′Cause the one thing I can't do is unlove you
(The one thing I can′t do is unlove you)
(The one thing I can't do is unlove you) oh-oh




(′Cause the one thing I can't do is unlove you)
(′Cause the one thing I can't do is unlove you)

"Unlove You"

(Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you)

If I could un-kiss your lips
And never know how good it tastes
If I could un-feel your fingertips
Maybe then I'd feel ok

I been up for day's
Staring at drink
Trying to un-remember every little thing
Trying hit delete on me and you
But I don't know how to

If I could unlove you
I would've done it by now
If I could un-want you
I wouldn't be out front your house
Calling you up, three AM
Hoping you're up and you let me in
Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you

(Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you)

If I could undo knowing you
Well that's a risk I'm willing to take
But I can't unbruise black and blue
This heart just can't catch no break
Been a couple weeks
Starting at the wall
Tryin to figure out how to unfall
To forget it all
To be better off
But I don't know how to

If I could unlove you
I would've done it by now
If I could un-want you
I wouldn't be out front your house
Calling you up, three AM
Hoping you're up and you let me in
Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you

(Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you)
(Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you)

If I could unlove you
I would've done it by now
If I could un-want you
I wouldn't be out front your house
Calling you up, three AM
Hoping you're up and you let me in
Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you

(Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you)
(Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you)
(Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you)
(Cause the one thing I can't do
Is unlove you)
