Some Things You Never Get Used To
Some things you never get used to
It's the same routine, of getting up every morning
And putting on a smile
But underneath, there's another person
Who can't find a reason to make living worthwhile
Oh, another day to get through
Without the love that once was mine
Sometimes, I think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you
And not having you
I'll never get used to
I've gotten used to not listenin' for familiar sounds
You used to make (you used to make)
Now I'm trying to get out of the habit
Of calling your name first thing when I awake
Look a-here
It's like a child's first steps
I had to learn to walk all, all over again
'Cause you were always there
If I should fall
And now there's nobody else that I can call
It's like wanting you
And not having you
I'll never get used to
Lost in a crowd
I think I caught a glimpse of you
Blindly, I rushed
To touch your head, huh
To discover
It's my mind playing tricks on me again (tricks on me again)
Some things you never get used to
Sometimes, I think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you (wanting you)
And not having you
I'll never get used to
Baby, baby, it's wanting you (wanting you)
And not having you
I'll never get used to
Look a-here, oh
I'm wanting you (wanting you)
And not having you
I'll never get used to
It's the same routine, of getting up every morning
And putting on a smile
But underneath, there's another person
Who can't find a reason to make living worthwhile
Oh, another day to get through
Without the love that once was mine
Sometimes, I think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you
And not having you
I'll never get used to
I've gotten used to not listenin' for familiar sounds
You used to make (you used to make)
Now I'm trying to get out of the habit
Of calling your name first thing when I awake
Look a-here
It's like a child's first steps
I had to learn to walk all, all over again
'Cause you were always there
If I should fall
And now there's nobody else that I can call
It's like wanting you
And not having you
I'll never get used to
Lost in a crowd
I think I caught a glimpse of you
Blindly, I rushed
To touch your head, huh
To discover
It's my mind playing tricks on me again (tricks on me again)
Some things you never get used to
Sometimes, I think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you (wanting you)
And not having you
I'll never get used to
Baby, baby, it's wanting you (wanting you)
And not having you
I'll never get used to
Look a-here, oh
I'm wanting you (wanting you)
And not having you
I'll never get used to
