Can’t Unlove You

I’ve been dragging this heart through the dust,

Trying to stitch up the places you cut.

God, I gave you the best of the fire in me,

Now I’m staring at ashes that won’t let me breathe.

You were home, you were hope, you were all that I knew—

Funny how love turns to ghosts in a room.

I’m talking to shadows of what we became,

Whispering your name like it still means the same.

Pre-Chorus

I keep telling myself, “Let it go, let it go,”

But the truth hits harder when it’s spoken low.

Every mile I walk away just circles back to you.

Chorus

And I can’t unlove you,

Even though the damage is done.

Even though my heart’s been dying,

Beating slow, coming undone.

And it kills me, God, it kills me—

How your absence feels like proof

That the love I bled for, prayed for

Left me empty…

But still full of you.

I can’t unlove you.

I can’t unlove you.

Verse 2

I’m a house with the lights on but nobody’s home,

Fighting echoes that won’t leave me alone.

You moved on like it didn’t cost you a thing,

While I’m stuck in the ruins, replaying the scene.

Every promise we made keeps turning to smoke,

And every memory feels like a cruel kind of joke.

But even the truth, with its merciless claws,

Can’t carve you out—the heart won’t let go.

Pre-Chorus

How do you bury a love that refuses to die?

How do you breathe when your lungs learned their shape from a lie?

I swear I’m trying, but my trying keeps breaking me in two.

Chorus

’Cause I can’t unlove you,

Even though the damage is done.

Even though my heart’s been dying,

Fading slow, coming undone.

And it kills me, oh it kills me—

How the silence feels like proof

That the love I fought for, begged for

Left me hollow…

But still full of you.

I can’t unlove you.

I can’t unlove you.

Bridge

If time could rewrite us, I’d sign my name again—

Even knowing the ending, even losing you then.

I’d still fall into your orbit, still burn in your sky,

’Cause some loves don’t leave you, even when they die.

Final Chorus (softer, broken)

I can’t unlove you…

I’ve tried and I’ve tried, but the truth bleeds through.

This heart keeps beating your heartbeat—

Even when it’s beating me blue.

Yeah, it hurts like hell to hold on,

But it hurts worse letting go too.

So I live with the wreckage, the ruin, the ache…

And the part of me

That stays yours forever.

I can’t unlove you.

I can’t unlove you.
