 How Do I Stop Loving You

I took our wedding picture off your dresser
Don't stare into your empty closet no more

I stopped calling up our old friends
Just to ask them if they know how you are

I've done everything that it says on the internet
An ex-lover is suppose to do

The thing that I can't figure out
Is how do I stop loving you, how do I stop loving you

Been going 'round to our old places
To see if I can find somebody new

I guess it's no surprise
Everyone I fall for is a lot like you

And the story always seems to end the same
Feels just like deja vu

Guess I still can't figure out
Is how do I stop loving you, how do I stop loving you

Time heals all wounds
Now I know that it's true
I just I needed
Enough time to get over you

Now I'm going in a new direction
Don't even dream about you no more

I wearing my new clothes
Feeling better than I did before

Found someone new who makes me feel the way
You were never able to

See I finally figured out
How do I stop loving you, how do I stop loving you

I like this song and vocals. As it is still WIP it will be good to hear it finished with a full production and stronger vocals just at the start.

Jay,
This is a really good song.  Great hook!  The only thing that was kind of hoping for was some more energy at the end.  The end sounds just like the beginning.  Some suggestions (rookie disclaimers in place) perhaps a key change for last verse and chorus - bring up a bit.  I think that would help the lyrics in resolving your dilemma. Maybe repeat the chorus at the end.  Final suggestion is maybe altering the last chorus to "I finally stopped loving you."

With all that said, I really like the song.  Feel free to disregard...lol...Great job!

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the thoughtful suggestions. I think it's all good advice. Interestingly I did go back a forth with the final lyric along the lines of "I finally stopped loving you" but decided not to mess with the title.  I will have to revisit that.

Hi Marrianna,

As always, thanks for your kind feedback.  I'll try to ramp it up a bit when I revise the song.

Hi Sunday, in my honest opinion the song sounds too personal and disjointed if you know what i mean? I know that some of the best songs (lyrically) are drawn from personal experience but i got the kind of message from the first couple of lines that this song was directed at someone rather than an audience?

Hope you don't take offence but then again, like me, you wouldn't be posting songs on here for anything less than an honest opinion.

Hi Pete,

Liked the title and  I was drawn in musically with the nice feel of the guitar and drum and the vocals. Liked the pre-choruschord changes. . And you've a good voice.
Thoughts I though the difference between rhythm and drums of the chorus and the verse was a but too much.
Lyrically i thought it was good storytelling.
Good luck with it.
