The lyrics to “How not to” were written by Adam Hambrick, Paul DiGiovanni, and Kevin Bard.
I can honestly understand why it’s over
I can go through the motions of walking away
I can give you the key and take my things back
I can find plenty things to fill my days
But I don’t know how not to think about you
When it’s late at night and crying
And I know that I ought to be the one who is strong and just moves on
But I probably turn down your road, knock-knock on your door
Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning
Hating myself for the way that I can’t help the way I still want you
I just don’t know how not to, how not to, how not to
I just don’t know how not to, how not to, how not to
You’re like second nature, baby, you’re just like breathin’
A melody that you hear and you can’t forget
The time goes by and I still need you
Yeah, you were at the heartbreak of no regret
But I don’t know how not to think about you
When it’s late at night and crying
And I know that I ought to be the one who is strong and just moves on
But I probably turn down your road, knock-knock on your door
Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning
Hating myself for the way that I can’t help the way I still want you
I just don’t know how not to, how not to, how not to
I just don’t know how not to, how not to, how not to
I don’t know how not to think about you
When it’s late at night and crying
But I know that I ought to be the one who’s strong and just moves on
But I probably turn down your road, knock-knock on your door
Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning
Hating myself for the way that I can’t help the way I still want you
I just don’t know how not to, how not to, how not to
I just don’t know how not to, how not to, how not to
The How Not to song’s meaning is covering how difficult it can be to move on in life after a major relationship break-up. The song could also be applied to getting over a major addiction, or any major emotional event.
