The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How many years will this clock have to tick
How many tears have to fall
How many nights must I lie here and wonder
If I'm gonna survive this at all
Waking up and reaching out for no one
Is the hardest part to get over
I can't wait for the day when I can finally say
I used to love her
I'm gettin' better at walkin' the floor
I'm wearin' holes in my shoes
I keep on looking for something I've lost
As if I had something to lose
Calling out her name while nobody answers
Is the hardest part to get over
I can't wait for the day when I can finally say
I used to love her
This endless wall of heartache and pain
I can't seem to get over
I can't wait for the day when I can finally say
I used to love her
I can't wait for the day when I can finally say
I used to love her.
