  • Still gotta walk into a crowded room
    With the radio on
    Crack a smile and crack a beer like it don't bother you
    Like it ain't your song that's on

    Still gotta cross the bridge to get to work
    The one by her place
    Make it through the nine to five like you don't hurt
    It goes that way

    When someone stops loving you
    It don't make the evening news
    It don't keep the sun from rising, the clock from winding, your heart from beating
    Even when you want it to
    When someone stops loving you

    Still gotta button up your collared shirt
    The one she used to button down
    Sleep on the mattress where her body left a curve
    Or maybe just the couch

    Still gotta keep her number in your phone
    In case she calls back
    One night when she's drunk and all alone
    Yeah, you pray for that

    When someone stops loving you
    It don't make the evening news
    It don't keep the sun from rising, the clock from winding, your heart from beating
    Even when you want it to
    When someone stops loving you

    The hardest part about it is
    There ain't a switch that you can flip
    'Cause you can't stop loving them

    When someone stops loving you
    When someone stops loving you
    It don't keep the sun from rising, the clock from winding, your heart from beating
    Even when you want it to
    When someone stops loving you
    When someone stops loving you
    When someone stops loving you Writer/s: HILLARY LEE LINDSEY, LORI MCKENNA, RICHARD CHASE MCGILL
