Teach me How to Turn Off Love

How did you

How

How did you do it!

Help me find the switch.

You just said you don’t love me anymore

Like it was small talk walking out the door

Less than a year with rings still shining gold

Now you’re acting like our story’s old

I knew we were cracking at the seams

Late night silence, shattered little dreams

But where were all the words before goodbye?

How’d we skip to letting everything die?

What happened to “we’ll fight for this”?

What happened to forever kisses?

You dropped a bomb so casually

While I’m still standing in the debris

Teach me how to turn off love

Where’s the switch you’re thinking of?

Cause you flipped yours overnight

And I’m still drowning every night

If you ever loved me true

Tell me how you made it through

How’d you cut me out so clean

Like I was never in between?

I search my chest, my mind, my blood

Trying to kill what still lights up

But no matter where I touch

I can’t stop loving you this much

I wish this happened before the vows

Before forever lived inside this house

Maybe then the wound would just be pain

Not a funeral marching through my veins

I replay every memory we made

Trying to find the moment love decayed

Was it fake or did you slowly disappear

While I was still building us right here?

You packed your heart before I knew

Left me holding onto you

Now every room’s a ghost parade

Of promises we never saved

Teach me how to turn off love

Where’s the switch you’re thinking of?

Cause you flipped yours overnight

And I’m still breaking every night

If you really loved me once

How’d your heartbeat come undone?

How’d you walk away so fast

While I’m chained to what we had?

I tear apart my soul enough

Trying to make the feeling stop

But no matter what I do

My heart still reaches back to you

Maybe love’s not something clean

Maybe it stains everything

Maybe some hearts never learn

How to watch forever burn

You say it like it’s black and white

Like love just dies without a fight

But mine still calls your name at night

And I hate that it survives

Teach me how to turn off love

How to close what opened up

How to wake and not replay

Everything you threw away

Cause I would rip these feelings out

If I knew what you know now

But I can’t find the switch you found

I only hear your last words loud

“I don’t love you anymore...”

While I’m still loving you like before

So if you ever loved me true

Tell me how to stop loving you...
