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've 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

Till then I'll pretend

I'll play the fool

Someday I'll find another someone just like you

Till 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
