Cursive – I Couldn’t Love You Lyrics

Alternative

Love may be manmade
But it must exist
It's what you want the most
And most resist
Love's polluted
No, no it's pure
It's convoluted
One thing I could say for sure
I couldn't love you anymore

I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore

It's a game of fetch
We'll never win
You throw me out
It brings us back
You throw me out again
Loves an affliction
No it's a cure
It's a contradiction that harms and heals
Adores and abhors
I couldn't love you anymore

I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore

Love is a tantrum
Love is an interlude
Love is an instinct
Not now dear, I'm not in the mood anymore

No no no no no
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

It's no big deal
It's not worth losing sleep
You over analyze
The simplest things
Loves what you take
But can never give
Loves what you hate
You'll never figure out what it's for
I couldn't love you anymore

I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore

    hes simply mocking love. He brings up a point of noone even knows what love really is so he has no problem saying i love you its funny and ironic. -cody T

    He leaves the interpretation very open. He offers both side. And even "I couldn't love you anymore" could be read in two distinct ways... that is.. I love you so much that I can't love you anymore than what I love you or.. I loved you but the love went away so I can't love you anymore.... most of kashers song are like this... he leaves it open for the listener. It shouldn't matter what you think he meant.. it's what you feel, as an individual (and how you relate or not relate) as you're listening to the song
