[Verse 1:]
I talk to a friend of ours
Just late last night
She said you'd been drowning in your tears
I know that it might sound strange
Never wanted to cause you pain
But her words were like music to my ears
[Chorus:]
Maybe we could walk away
And turn our backs on yesterday
Just move on the way most lovers do
But that's not how this story goes
I'll tell you now what heaven knows
If getting over me is hard to do
Well, baby
You should try getting over you
[Verse 2:]
The smile on your face
Was all you let me see
So I couldn't bear to let you know
While hiding behind my pride
I wanted to die inside
Just looking for signs you'd never show
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
It seems we've played our part too well
To find it in our hearts to tell one another
What we've both known all along
That since the day we said goodbye
We've just been livin' one big lie
It's time to face the fact
That we were wrong
To think that
[Chorus:]
Maybe we could walk away
And turn our backs on yesterday
Just move on the way most lovers do
'Cause that's not how this story goes
I'll tell you now what heaven knows
If getting over me is hard to do
Well, baby
You should try
Maybe you should try
Baby, you should try getting over you
I talk to a friend of ours
Just late last night
She said you'd been drowning in your tears
I know that it might sound strange
Never wanted to cause you pain
But her words were like music to my ears
[Chorus:]
Maybe we could walk away
And turn our backs on yesterday
Just move on the way most lovers do
But that's not how this story goes
I'll tell you now what heaven knows
If getting over me is hard to do
Well, baby
You should try getting over you
[Verse 2:]
The smile on your face
Was all you let me see
So I couldn't bear to let you know
While hiding behind my pride
I wanted to die inside
Just looking for signs you'd never show
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
It seems we've played our part too well
To find it in our hearts to tell one another
What we've both known all along
That since the day we said goodbye
We've just been livin' one big lie
It's time to face the fact
That we were wrong
To think that
[Chorus:]
Maybe we could walk away
And turn our backs on yesterday
Just move on the way most lovers do
'Cause that's not how this story goes
I'll tell you now what heaven knows
If getting over me is hard to do
Well, baby
You should try
Maybe you should try
Baby, you should try getting over you
