I Wanna Love You (But I Don’t) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All dressed up, I see you look so beautiful tonight
The crystal chandelier was shining blue
Hidden faces smile in the masquerade, but I'm
Naked on the dance floor, next to you
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll remember me just like a wet dream
Oh, how we danced all night together
And I'll remember you under the pale moon
I thought it'd light us up forever
[Chorus]
I wanna love you, but I don't
I think that something went wrong
Now I don't know where I belong anymore
And I should leave you, but I won't
I've forgotten how to get back
But I remember what we had
The party's over and I know I should go
I wanna love you, but I don't
[Verse 2]
Just like a cashmere sweater on a dark December day
You were laying softly on my chest
And I was someone special whenever I caught your gaze
Now I'm struggling to catch my breath
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll remember me just like a bad dream
But, baby, we looked so good together
And I'll remember you like you were brand new
I thought you'd stay that way forever
[Chorus]
I wanna love you, but I don't
I think that something went wrong
Now I don't know where I belong anymore
And I should leave you, but I won't
I've forgotten how to get back
But I remember what we had
The party's over and I know I should go
I wanna love you, but I don't
[Post-Chorus]
(Wanna love you, wanna love you, oh)
I wanna love you, but I don't
(Wanna love you, wanna love you, oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll remember me just like a wet dream
Oh, how we danced all night together
And I'll remember you under the pale moon
It was too good to last forever
[Bridge]
I wanna love you, but I don't
I think I've always kinda known
[Chorus]
I wanna love you, but I don't
I think that something went wrong
Now I don't know where I belong anymore
And I should leave you, but I won't
I've forgotten how to get back
But I remember what we had
The party's over and I know I should go (I love)
I wanna love you, but I don't
[Outro]
(You'll remember me just like a wet dream)
(Oh, how we danced all night together)
I wanna love you, but I don't
(I'll remember you under the pale moon)
(I thought it'd light us up forever)
I wanna love you, but I don't

What did Ashe say about "I Wanna Love You (But I Don't)"?
In my time away, my therapist had me do an exercise. I wrote a letter from Ashlyn, the songwriter, daughter, girl, to Ashe, the performer, entertainer, artist. To my surprise, it was scathing and mean and so hurtful. The return letter was equally painful. This was the first time I realized something...
