Tell my heart to stop beating
Tell my mind not to think
Thrown a stone in the ocean

And tell that stone not to sink

Tell the world to stop turnin' around

Tell the sky not to be so blue
Tell the rain to stop fallin' 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 unspoken
And my lips not to have been kissed


Tell the world to stop turnin' around
Tell the sky not to be so blue

Tell the rain to stop fallin' 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 sealed

Only the broken-hearted know the way I feel

Tell the world to stop turnin' around

Tell the sky not to be so blue
Tell the rain to stop fallin' down like tears
But don't tell me to stop loving you

Don't tell me to stop loving you
