Story Behind The Song

A break-up in the making

Lyrics

I can't believe it's true I never thought I'd see
You look at me that way and say you need much more than me.
You said it's not a matter of you finding someone new
But I know it won't take long for someone to find you.

And as I was leaving you showed how it would be
While I wasn't looking you'd taken back your key
And how can that not mean that it's over?
This must be the end
Cause I don't have the strength to be an ordinary friend
Yes time may be a healer but how could time undo
The pain that comes from living
Without you?

You told me I'm the one in time we'll try it all again
But you can't put your heart, your love, your life on hold till then.
But how can I control myself and act like I don't care
Knowing when the time is right we might not both be there.

You told me you loved me and I'd be OK
And then through the tears I just watched you walk away.
And how can that not mean that it's over?
This must be the end
Cause I don't have the strength to be an ordinary friend.
Yes time may be a healer but how could time undo
The pain that comes from living
Without you?

You told me you loved me and I'd be OK
And then through the tears I just watched you walk away
And how can that not mean that it's over?
This must be the end
Cause I don't have the strength to be an ordinary friend
You told me not to call you but what more can I do?
I guess I'll go on living - I'll have to go on living
I guess I'll go on living
Without you. Without you.
