Don’t Stop This Love

[Verse 1]
Don’t stop this love
It’s the one thing holding me together
Every time I try to walk away
I end up right back at your door
It’s too hard to breathe
Like the air turns heavy when you’re gone
I keep counting all these could-have-beens
Till the nights feel twice as long
[Chorus]
Don’t stop this love
I’m begging
I can’t live in this world without you
My heart falls apart when I hear your name
Every letter
Every sound cuts through
These emotions run deep inside me
Like a river I can’t undo
The pain won’t stop loving you
The pain won’t stop loving you (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
I still see your coat on my chair
Hear your keys in the door at two
Talk to the shadows on the wall
Like they might turn into you
Tried to burn our pictures
But the fire just burned my hands
Guess some things never turn to ash
They just stay and stain the plans
[Chorus]
Don’t stop this love
I’m begging
I can’t live in this world without you
My heart falls apart when I hear your name
Every letter
Every sound cuts through
These emotions run deep inside me
Like a river I can’t undo
The pain won’t stop loving you
The pain won’t stop loving you
[Bridge]
If there’s a road back
I’ll crawl it
If there’s a storm
I’ll walk it through (walk it through)
I’d rather drown inside this hurt
Than learn a life that’s not with you
[Chorus]
Don’t stop this love
I’m begging
I can’t live in this world without you
My heart falls apart when I hear your name
Every letter
Every sound cuts through
These emotions run deep inside me
Like a river I can’t undo
The pain won’t stop loving you
The pain won’t stop loving you (ohhh)
The pain won’t stop loving you

Slow-burn West Coast deep-south ballad; male vocals over a moody R&B groove, bluesy guitar licks, warm organ pads, and thick bass. Verses stay intimate and close-mic, chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and sustained chords, tambourine and rimshots adding pulse. Final hook rides out with ad-libs and a small gospel-flavored choir swell., deep
