  • Gotta change my answering machine, now that I'm alone
    'Cause right now it says that "We can't come to the phone"
    And I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door
    But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore

    (It's ridiculous)
    It's been months and for some reason I just
    (Can't get over us)
    And I'm stronger than this

    (Enough is enough)
    No more walking round with my head down
    I'm so over being blue, crying over you

    And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
    So done with wishing you were still here
    Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
    So why can't I turn off the radio?

    Gotta fix that calendar I have that's marked July 15th
    Because since there's no more you, there's no more anniversary
    I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you and your memory
    And now every song reminds me of what used to be

    That's the reason I'm
    So sick of love songs, so tired of tears
    So done with wishing you were still here
    Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
    So why can't I turn off the radio?

    (Leave me alone)
    Leave me alone
    (Stupid love songs)
    Don't make me think about her smile
    Or having my first child
    Let it go
    Turning off the radio

    'Cause I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
    So done with wishing she was still here
    Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
    So why can't I turn off the radio?

    Said I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
    So done with wishing she was still here
    Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
    Why can't I turn off the radio?
    (Why can't I turn off the radio?)

    And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears
    So done with wishing you were still here
    Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow
    Why can't I turn off the radio?
    (Why can't I turn off the radio?)
    Why can't I turn off the radio? Writer/s: Mikkel Eriksen, Shaffer Smith, Tor Erik Hermansen
