Go if you want to
I never tried to stop you
Know there's a reason
For all of this you're feeling
Love its not my call
You couldn't ever love me more
You couldn't love me more
You couldn't love

Me I don't show much
Its not that hard to hide you
See in a moment
I can't remember how to
Be all you wanted
I couldn't ever love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love
You want me to cry and play my part
I want you to sigh and fall apart
We want this like everyone else

Stay if you want to
I always wait to hear you
Say there's a last kiss
For all the times you run this
Way its not my fault
You couldn't ever love me more
You couldn't love me more
You couldn't love

Love me more
Couldn't ever love me more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love

You want me to lie not break your heart
I want you to fly not stop and start
We want us like everything else

Maybe we didn't understand
Not just a boy and a girl
Its just the end of the
end of the world

Me i don't say much
Its far too hard to make you
See in a moment
I still forget just how to
Be all you wanted
I couldn't ever love you more
I couldn't love you more (x4)

The Cure

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »
