You could have given me a million reasons why But it wouldn't change a thing You said it all when you said goodbye And you took off your wedding ring I've been tryin' to get over you I've been spending time alone I've been tryin' to get over you But it'll take dyin' to get it done All my friends keep tryin' to fix me up They say I need somebody new When it comes to love, I've all but given up 'Cause life don't mean nothin' without you I've been tryin' to get over you I've been spending time alone I've been tryin' to get over you But it'll take dyin' to get it done
