CHORUS:
I don't want to love you anymore
You know, I've been through all of this with you before
But how can I make you see
All this pain you're causing me
Without giving it to you...
I fight so many memories
Sometimes they're much like an incurable disease
Each one just leaves me feeling sore
I don't want to love you anymore...
I don't want to love you anymore.
VERSE:
There was a time my heart was full of you
To live my life next to your side was all I ever longed to do
But I put you in a place you never should've been
That's why it had to end
And so I cry again...
CHORUS:
I don't want to love you anymore
It's time to walk away and close that final door
How can I make you comprehend
That I can't even be your friend
Without hurting more and more...
There's just some things you can't explain
You're only left to clean up pieces that remain
There while the rain begins to pour
I don't want to love you anymore...
I don't want to love you anymore.
BRIDGE:
I have tried so many times- I've opened wide my heart
To share the truth inside, pulled from the deepest part
The place that I removed you from was reserved for only One
A throne for God the Son
And now He's back again
With all His love to mend...
VERSE:
Before my heart had room for only you
But now that Christ is on the throne, I have a Love that's pure and true
And He's there to soothe and comfort every phantom pain
For I still feel the strain
Each time you call my name...
CHORUS:
I don't want to love you anymore
My heart has found the One that it's been searching for
I've tried to share His love with you
Because He wants to love you, too
Oh, wondrous things He has in store...
And since He is my All in All
Don't be surprised if I don't answer when you call
My Jesus loves me to the core
I don't want to love you anymore...
I don't want to love you anymore.
REFRAIN:
Oh, wondrous things He has in store
What are you waiting for?
Don't call until we meet upon that golden shore...
I don't want to love you anymore...
I don't want to love you anymore.

Author notes
Quote from JANE EYRE:
"Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine. May you never appeal to Heaven in prayers so hopeless and so agonised as in that hour left my lips: for never may you, like me, dread to be the instrument of evil to what you wholly love."
Yep- "breakin' up is hard to do."

Whoa, the sudden change to religion had me confused at first. It took me a minute to catch on. Haha. Okay, that being said:
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the verse after the bridge. It's terrific. But to be honest, I'm not really in love with the whole poem. I'm trying to relate to it, but I think I'm having a lot of trouble because I think of my religion in totally different terms than what you're explaining here. Still, I admire your honesty and your willingness to write about something that many people find taboo. I'm also inspired by your ability to find solace in religion. I'm teaching myself how to do that now and it's not as easy as many people make it out to be.
Nice write. Thanks for entering and good luck! -
I didn't know what color to try, the red is SOOOO overwhelming for the eyes!
This isn't actually my first time writing a song.
I have about two or three more posted on here.
I want to write more, too!- I think that I have a musician's heart stuck in a teacher's body. -
Not bad for your first time intentionally writing a song. I could hear a melody as I read it. A good sign for such a thing.
The only thing is that I had a hard time reading the words against the red background. I had to highlight them to do so.
I'm impressed, li'l sister!

Reminds me a bit of that old Bryan White song... Went like this.
WE AGREED THAT IT WAS OVER
NOW THE LINES HAVE ALL BEEN DRAWN
THE VOWS WE MADE BEGAN TO FADE
BUT NOW THEY'RE GONE
PUT YOUR PICTURE IN THE SHOEBOX
AND MY GOLD RING IN THE DRAWER
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU ANYMORE
NOW SHERRI SAID SHE'S JEALOUS
OF THIS FREEDOM THAT I'VE FOUND
IF SHE WERE ME SHE WOULD BE
OUT ON THE TOWN
AND SHE SAYS SHE CAN'T IMAGINE
WHAT ON EARTH I'M WAITING FOR
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU ANYMORE
OH I SHOULDN'T CARE OR WONDER WHERE
AND HOW YOU ARE
BUT I CAN'T HIDE THIS HURT INSIDE MY BROKEN HEART
I'M FIGHTING BACK EMOTIONS THAT I'VE
NEVER FOUGHT BEFORE
'CAUSE I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU ANYMORE
NOW I'M WRITING YOU THIS LETTER
AND IT'S KILLING ME TONIGHT
THAT I AGREED WHEN YOU BELIEVED
IT WASN'T RIGHT
AND I COULDN'T SLEEP UP ON THE BED
SO I'M DOWN HERE ON THE FLOOR
WHERE I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU ANYMORE
OH I SHOULDN'T CARE OR WONDER WHERE
AND HOW YOU ARE
BUT I CAN'T HIDE THIS HURT INSIDE MY
BROKEN HEART
I'M FIGHTING BACK EMOTIONS THAT I'VE
NEVER FOUGHT BEFORE
'CAUSE I'M NOT SUPPOSE TO LOVE YOU ANYMORE
I'M FIGHTING BACK EMOTIONS THAT I'VE
NEVER FOUGHT BEFORE
'CAUSE I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU
ANYMORE
Yup I heard that right after Chris and I broke up and bawled like a baby... Could care less now about him but the song is still a tear jerker. Hope you are doing ok. If you need to talk you can call me. Love ya,
Because He Lives,
Beka
