Analysis of I don't love you anymore...



I wish you happiness and laughter...but I don’t love you anymore…
I’m not quite sure what will happen after...but I don’t love you anymore…

I care about you more than you know...though I don’t love you anymore…
I’m struggling to let you go... though I don’t love you anymore….

You don’t see me, hear me, feel me, know me...so I don’t love you anymore…
I think I knew all along it wasn’t meant to be...so I don’t love you anymore…

I’ve never felt more alone than with you...no, I don’t love you anymore…
I have better chats with a stranger, it’s true… no, I don’t love you anymore…

I think you find comfort in me...though I don’t want to anymore…
I think you need me to help you see...though I don’t want to anymore…

All of this time, I held on to hope..so I can’t anymore…
It kills me to know it’s the end of the rope..so I can’t anymore…

When I’m gone, I know you’ll realize… no, it’s not my problem anymore…
I won’t come back this time...no, it’s not my problem anymore…

Love is too hard for you...though, you keep taking more…
Was it ever really true…why do you keep taking more?

I’m not who I once was...not anymore…
I am not who you think I am...not anymore…

I wanted to be a mom...just not yours…
I wanted a real man...you pretended you were…

I wanted to leave, and I tried twice…
You pull me back in, and then you give up thrice...

It’s time to move on… even if it hurts…
We both know it’s true..it will just get worse…

Your oblivious to my tears, no you don't love me anymore...
You won't face your fears, no you don't love me anymore..

I can no longer see my future...because I don’t love you anymore…
I’m done living in the past...and I don’t love you anymore...
