Dive into the raw, aching emotion of “I Wish I Knew How to Quit You” from Sombr’s debut album, I Barely Know Her, a track that hits like a late-night confessional under Brooklyn’s dim lights. Sombr, the 20-year-old New York native who dropped out of high school after his viral hit “Caroline” in 2022, pours his soul into this alt-pop ballad, blending the introspective storytelling of In Another Life’s “Ivy” with the heartbreak-soaked melodies of I Barely Know Her’s “Back to Friends” and “We Never Dated.”
With lyrics like “You’re in my DNA, you’re the echo in my veins,” this song captures the torment of an unrequited love that lingers like an addiction, set against Sombr’s signature lo-fi production and lush harmonies. Co-produced with Grammy-winner Tony Berg, it’s a standout in an album exploring fleeting romance and emotional vulnerability.

Lyrics of i wish i knew how to quit you by sombr
[Verse 1]
I Won’t Call It Off ’til I’m Stone
I’ll Write A Book With All The Reasons
I Could Call You My Home, But I Won’t
‘Cause You’re Unavailable
I Won’t Save Myself, I’m Unwell
I’d Rather Take Another Bottle Off The Top Of The Shelf
Than Get Help
’cause You’re No Good For My Health
[Chorus]
I Wish I Knew How To Quit Ya
You Were Never Mine, But I Was Always Yours
I Wish I Knew How To Quit Ya
But I’m Addicted To You More And More
[Verse 2]
When I Put You On The Counter
Of My Tiny Place In Brooklyn,
And We Kissed Like There Was Nothing To Lose
Did You Feel What I Did, Too?
Oh, You’re In My Dna, So Much Exchanged
At Least I Know When You’re Away,
There’ll Always Be A Part Of You That Stayed
You’re The Echo In My Veins
[Chorus]
I Wish I Knew How To Quit Ya
You Were Never Mine, But I Was Always Yours
I Wish I Knew How To Quit Ya
But I’m Addicted To You More And More
[Bridge]
I Love You While I Sleep, Then I Wake Up Alone
I Live Inside A House, Without You, It’s Not Home
They Don’t Know What It’s Like To Live, And Never Know
If The One That You Wait For Is Ever Gonna Show
[Chorus]
I Wish I Knew How To Quit Ya
You Were Never Mine, But I Was Always Yours
I Wish I Knew How To Quit Ya
But I’m Addicted To You More And More
I Wish I Knew How To Quit Ya
You Were Never Mine, But I Was Always Yours
I Wish I Knew How To Quit Ya
But I’m Addicted To You More And More
