You Don't Have To Live With It

(album: Perpetual Emotion - 1998)

I didn't come in here for free advice
But thank you just the same
I appreciate your philosophy
But her ghost don't hang around your house
Haunting you insane
And you weren't there when she walked out on me

You don't have to live with it, I do
All day long, the whole night through
Blaming yourself, cause somebody else
Is holding her tight
You don't have her name carved on your heart
Memories of loving her in the dark
That won't fade with the light
You're lucky you
Don't have to live with it, I do

No two hearts ever break the same
She broke mine for good
These wounds are way too deep for time to heal
They say someone new will come along
Lord, I wish they would
I hope you never feel the way I feel

You don't have to live with it, I do
All day long, the whole night through
Blaming yourself, cause somebody else
Is holding her tight
You don't have her name carved on your heart
Memories of loving her in the dark
That won't fade with the light
You're lucky you
Don't have to live with it, I do

You don't have to live with it, I do
All day long, the whole night through
Blaming yourself, cause somebody else
Is holding her tight
You don't have her name carved on your heart
Memories of loving her in the dark
That won't fade with the light
You're lucky you
Don't have to live with it, I do

Oh you ain't got a clue
You don't have to live with it, I do
