Changes: Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody)

"Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody)" is a song originally intended for Paramore's second album Riot! but was cut, however, it was put onto United Kingdom release of the album.

This song features Taylor York and his brother Justin York on guitars before they would become members of Paramore.

Background

The song "Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody)" is about singer Avril Lavigne and how repetitive her music is.

"It was around the time when Avril had just come out, and there were a bunch of copycats, solo artists, young girls that looked punky and they were backed by a band. I guess (the guys) were kind of afraid that we were gonna get that… that whole comparison. And they were right though because I also looked that way, I wore baggy pants… I guess they were just nervous it would look like Avril Lavigne part II. I came over one day to the rehearsals just to write with them and as soon as we all started playing together we played one of the first songs we ever wrote, which is now the song titled “Stop this song”"

- Hayley Williams

Lyrics

You say the sweetest things and I
Can't keep my heart from singing
along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving
to this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (die for you)

(Someone stop this)
I've gone to far to come back from here,
but you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me

Won't someone stop this song,
so I won't sing along
Someone stop this song,
so I won't sing..

I never let love in
so I could keep my heart from hurting
The longer that I live with this idea, the more I sink into this 4/4 beat
I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (stop this song)

I've gone to far to come back from here,
but you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
I've come to far to get over you,
and you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me

Can't someone stop this song,
so I won't sing along
Someone stop this song,
so I won't sing

Your lovesick melody
is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me if I don't sing

It creeps in like a spider
Can't be killed, although I try and try to
Well, don't you see I'm falling?
Don't wanna love you, but I do

(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song, so I won't sing along?
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song, so I won't sing?
Your lovesick melody
is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me, no
You won't get to me 'cause I won't sing
