(Verse 1)
"Pine boxes" and "he stop loving her today"
The radio's hummin' a sad, old tune, just fits this broken style
They say time heals, a heart can mend, but mine's a stubborn fool
'Cause every beat, it whispers her name, breakin' every golden rule.
(Chorus)
Why can't I stop lovin' her? Why can't this wantin' cease?
Why do her dreams still haunt my sleep, and steal away my peace?
Why won't my heart just understand, she ain't comin' back no more?
Why does it yearn for her sweet hand, and leave me crawlin' on the floor?
(Verse 2)
I close my eyes, I try to sleep, but her face is all I see
Each restless night, the memories creep, a cruel and twisted decree.
I try to move on, find someone new, a shadow of her grace
But my heart, it knows, it's only true, when I see her sweet, sweet face.
(Chorus)
Why can't I stop lovin' her? Why can't this wantin' cease?
Why do her dreams still haunt my sleep, and steal away my peace?
Why won't my heart just understand, she ain't comin' back no more?
Why does it yearn for her sweet hand, and leave me crawlin' on the floor?
(Bridge)
I scroll her feed, a ghost-like gaze, wonderin' what she's doin' now
Does she ever think of yesterday's, or break a solemn vow?
I know I should look away, let my own feed gather dust,
But I hope, somewhere, in her day, she feels this burnin' rust.
(Chorus)
Why can't I stop lovin' her? Why can't this wantin' cease?
Why do her dreams still haunt my sleep, and steal away my peace?
Why won't my heart just understand, she ain't comin' back no more?
Why does it yearn for her sweet hand, and leave me crawlin' on the floor?
(Outro)
Maybe in a pine box deep, six feet beneath the ground,
This love will finally fall asleep, where silence can be found.
Yeah, maybe then, this pain will cease, and my heart will finally rest,
'Cause only death, can bring release, from this love, I can't detest.
