[Verse 1]
I think I've reached that point
Where giving up and going on
Are both the same dead end to me
Are both the same old song
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
[Verse 2]
I think I've reached that point
Every wish has come true
Tired, disguised oblivion
Is everything I do
[Chorus]
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
I am none of these things
None of these things
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
[Verse 3]
I think I've reached that point
Where all the things you have to say
Hopes of something more from me
Just games to pass the time away
[Pre-Chorus]
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
[Chorus]
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
I am none of these things
I am none of these things
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do, do, do, do
[Verse 4]
I think I've reached that point
Where every word that you write
Of every blood-dark sea
And every soul-black night
And every dream you dream me in
And every perfect free from sin
And burning eyes and hearts on fire
Just the same old song
[Chorus]
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
I am none of these things
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
I am none of these things
I am none of these things
