I'll Get By

Give me one last look as you walk away
I, I don't know what to say, I start callin' out your name
But I just can't find the words, I know will change your mind
I tried a thousand times but I just can't make it right

Someday I pray there will come a day
When I can open up my heart and love again
Until then I'll get by, somehow I'll get by, I know I'll get by

I take a look around, I see this lonely room
I used to share with you, now I want to paint it blue
'Cause everywhere I turn, there's something else I find
The notes you left behind were you tryin' to be kind

Tell you somethin' baby, there will come a day
When I can open up my heart and love again
Until then I'll pretend, I'll play the fool
Someday I'll find another someone just like you
'Til then I'll get by, somehow I'll get by, I know I'll get by

My heart don't own me, can't think about it any more
Love's just a memory surrounded by these lonely walls
Lately I've been thinkin', I should move away
No reason left to stay, this house is haunted anyway

I'll tell you something baby, there will come a day
When I can open up my heart and love again
Until then I'll get by, somehow I'll get by, I know I'll get by
