[Intro] Ooh… yeah… I tried, baby… Lord knows I tried… [Verse 1] I walked away so many times before Said I was stronger, didn’t need love anymore Packed up my heart, left it at your door But every road led me right back for more I told my friends, “This time I’m through” But every lonely night just whispered you Your memory lingers like sweet perfume Filling every corner of every room [Pre-Chorus] I tried to fight it… deny it… Pretend I don’t need your touch… [Chorus] But I never could… stop loving you No matter what I said I’d do I never could… turn my heart away It keeps running back to yesterday I never could… break these chains inside No matter how hard I tried Baby, I never could… no, I never could Stop loving you [Verse 2] I found somebody who treated me right But they don’t hold me like you do at night There’s something missing I just can’t fake A love this deep you just can’t replace Your laughter echoes through my mind Like a melody I can’t rewind Every note plays your name again Girl, loving you ain’t got no end [Pre-Chorus] I keep pretending… it’s ending… But truth keeps telling me lies… [Chorus] ’Cause I never could… stop loving you No matter what I tried to do I never could… let your memory fade It’s written in every move I made I never could… silence this heart of mine Beating your rhythm all the time Baby, I never could… no, I never could Stop loving you [Bridge] Time may pass… seasons change… But this love still feels the same… Ain’t no distance far enough To break the power of your love… [Breakdown] I tried… I tried… But I just can’t say goodbye… [Final Chorus] I never could… stop loving you No matter where this life takes me to I never could… change what’s inside You’re the truth I just can’t hide I never could… let your love go It’s the only thing I know Baby, I never could… no, I never could… Stop loving you [Outro] No matter how far I run… My heart… still belongs… to you…
