How much time
Has passed since you said goodbye
Got your message today
Asking how am I
When I'm doing just fine
To admit the truth hasn't crossed my mind
All I needed was some time
Was it always this strong
I remember all
How I cried
The night that you said goodbye
You expected me to die
But I made a brand new start
And got on with my life
I did what I had to do
To get myself over you
I'm not fallin' apart
You underestimate the condition of my heart
There was a time
You were every breath of mine
I was ready to give the rest of my life
(but you walked away)
And now you think that you could walk right back into my life
Like nothing happened and I
I won't put up a fight
No
You left me alone
I wanna know where were you
When I cried
The night that you said goodbye
You expected me to die
But I made a brand new start
And got on with my life
I did what I had to do
To get myself over you
I'm not fallin' apart
You underestimate the condition of my heart
I think you said all that you need to say
Cause it's not gonna matter anyway
Am I getting through to you
Ive heard it all before
And now you've changed your mind
You lost youre only chance when you said goodbye
I wanna know where were you when I cried
The night that you said goodbye
You expected me to die
But I made a brand new start
And got on with my life
I did what I had to do
To get myself over you
I'm not fallin' apart
You underestimate the condition of my heart
You underestimate the condition of my heart
Has passed since you said goodbye
Got your message today
