Song Description

Girl moves on from bad relationship

Lyrics

(verse 1)
There once was a man in my life. And he looked just like you.
But he doesn't live inside you anymore. You've become someone new.
Yet the same old shit comes out of your lips. This time it's empty and cold.
And I'm tired of this but you just persist in letting your heart grow so old.
 
(chorus)
Not gonna die without you or cry without you. I'll never get that down.
Don't need this hurt when I try to assert myself with you.
Not gonna die without you. I'll try without you. To throw this sadness away.
And I'll face the dawn, and I'll be so strong. You don't know love anyway.
 
(verse 2)
All the pictures on all of my walls - they just remind me of you.
So I'll smash them all and get me some new ones. It's easy to do.
I'll exercise my right to exorcise you from my life. I'll cast your love away.
With my back to the past I can only see my future as I face the new day.
 
(repeat chorus)
Not gonna die without you or cry without you. I'll never get that down.
Don't need this hurt when I try to assert myself with you.
Not gonna die without you. I'll try without you. I'll throw this sadness away.
And I'll face the dawn, and I'll be so strong. You don't know love anyway.

 
(bridge)
After all the trouble and time. It ought to work by now.
But all we have are egos at war. And I still don't know how.
 
(guitar solo)
 
(repeat chorus 2x)
Not gonna die without you or cry without you. I'll never get that down.
Don't need this hurt when I try to assert myself with you.
Not gonna die without you. I'll try without you. I'll throw this sadness away.
And I'll face the dawn, and I'll be so strong. You don't know love anyway.
