Can’t Quit You Verse 1 I was young when you first found me Didn’t know what love could be You brushed your lips across my skin And woke a different side of me We grew closer every weekend Sneaking out where nobody knew Everybody thought we were just friends But I was falling hard for you You knew every secret I was hiding Every crack inside my soul Every time the world got heavy You were there to take control ⸻ Pre-Chorus You made the darkness disappear Turned my silence into songs Even when you left me shattered I’d still swear that you were home ⸻ Chorus I can’t quit you Even when you’re killing me slow Everybody tells me let you go But they don’t know what we know I forgive you Every lie you ever told You’re toxic but you feel like home You’re the only love I’ve ever known You’re drowning me Pulling me under so sweetly I know you’re no good for me But I can’t quit you… ⸻ Verse 2 We painted every town together Every bar became our place You’d laugh while I forgot my problems I got lost inside your face You carried me when I was broken Laid me gently into bed Then I’d wake with missing pieces Trying to remember what we said No one saw the way you changed me They just thought I smiled more They never watched me fall apart The second you walked out the door ⸻ Pre-Chorus Every promise turned to ashes Every kiss became a scar Still I’d chase you through the midnight No matter where you are ⸻ Chorus I can’t quit you Even when you’re killing me slow Everybody tells me let you go But they don’t know what we know I forgive you Every lie you ever told You’re toxic but you feel like home You’re the only love I’ve ever known You’re drowning me Pulling me under so sweetly I know you’re no good for me But I can’t quit you… ⸻ Bridge You have no idea how bad it gets The things you do to me You quiet every voice inside Then steal away my peace You’re my therapy and my disaster My heaven and my hell You save me for a moment Then leave me by myself Every time I say I’m done I hear you call my name And somehow I keep running back Knowing it’ll end the same ⸻ Final Verse (The Reveal) You never had a heartbeat. Never whispered in my ear. You were waiting in a glass Every lonely night for years. Every kiss burned going down. Every “I love you” came with another round. The girl I thought I couldn’t live without… Was the bottle sitting on the counter. You weren’t my soulmate. You were my addiction. ⸻ Final Chorus Now I can quit you Even if it breaks my heart You were never who I needed You just kept me falling apart I forgive you But I won’t let you take my life The love I thought I’d die without Was poison dressed in paradise No more drowning No more reaching through the dark I’ll remember who I was… Before you stole my heart. Outro Goodbye, my oldest lover… Goodbye, my oldest lie… I thought I couldn’t live without you… But tonight… I’m choosing life.
