5 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days ago
He walked out of my life
Tooke every ounce of strength I had
Not to break right down and cry
Any other time I probably would
Oh, but there's no need for that
'Cause I'm sure he's not gone for good
Yeah, he's still comin' back
At least that's what I tell myself
To keep my heart from breakin'(well)
What else am I supposed to do
I can't bear to face the truth
I don't know where he is tonight
But I know when he turns out the lights
He won't be holdin' someone else
At least that's what I tell myself
I still remember our last kiss
And just how sweet it was
How he acted like he didn't care
Oh, but I know he still does
And right before he said goodbye
He took off his ring
Said, "I don't need this anymore"
Oh, but that don't mean a thing
At least that's what I tell myself
To keep my heart from breakin'(well)
What else am I supposed to do
I can't bear to face the truth
I don't know where he is tonight
But I know when he turns out the lights
He won't be holdin' someone else
At least that's what I tell myself
It's another sleepless night
Here in this lonely bed
I might not hold him anymore
But he don't love me any less
At least that's what I tell myself
To keep my heart from breakin'(well)
What else am I supposed to do
I can't bear to face the truth
I don't know where he is tonight
But I know when he turns out the lights
He won't be holdin' someone else
At least that's what I tell myself
