Cover art for Stop The World lyrics by Goo Goo Dolls, The

I love this song, one of my favourites by the Goo's.

You feel you love someone so much you'd do anything for them, stop the world in this case and stop all of the things that are hurting them. But in the long run you know it really won't solve anything or help. The person in question just complains too much and you're fed up with trying to 'stop the world' just to please them. They just have to learn to deal with the shit that comes their way.

@sleepflower I don't think this person ever tries. The statements are narcissistic and contradicting. As if the person was hurt at some point, broken, and just gave up...unfortunately you still go along with it all because fitting in is still important in this/their world.
