Tell my heart to stop beating
Tell my mind not to think
Throw a stone in the ocean
And tell that stone not to sink

Tell the world to stop turning around
Tell the sky not to be so blue
Tell the rain to stop falling down like tears
But don't tell me to stop loving you
Don't tell me to stop loving you

Tell the past to be forgotten
Tell my life not to exist
Tell a promise made to be spoken
And my lips not to have been kissed

Tell the world to stop turning around
Tell the sky not to be so blue
Tell the rain to stop falling down like tears
But don't tell me to stop loving you
Don't tell me to stop loving you

I can't do it, I can't stop
It's something that love has seen
Only the broken hearted know
The way I feel

Tell the world to stop turning around
Tell the sky not to be so blue
Tell the rain to stop falling down like tears
But don't tell me to stop loving you
Don't tell me to stop loving you
