Wish I Could Stop Loving You

Wish I Could Stop Loving You 

***

Never expected To be 

Holding you right now

You said many times

This you wouldn't allow

But you called me

You touched me

What could I do? 

Oh babe, you're 

Coming on strong

Breaking me up inside

Nowhere to hide

I'm full of fear

Our love is wrong

Reaching up for you

You always disappear

A dream

What do you

Expect me to do

Your heart's

Saying one thing

But with you babe

Things are never

What they seem

Don't care what others say

That I'm being used

Realize without you

There's no way

Gonna make it

If you run

I won't ever

See the sun

My heart 

Nevers gonna

Be the same 

I'm praying

Your love

Can be tamed

Come home stay

My love isn't done

You know it's true

It's just for you

If you fall

Gonna catch you in my arms

Swear I'll keep you from all harm

But for me 

Would you do the same

Why can't I tell 

If you're playing a game 

With my heart

If your gonna 

Blow me away 

Shooting stars 

Ripping me again

Apart in two 

I can't help myself

It's checkmate

My hearts

Trapped 

How I wish

I could stop

Loving you
