I Gave Up (On Trying To Get Over You)

(albüm: D.A.C. - 1982)

Everything's the way that you left it baby
Broken heart, the tears, and the pain
I set your plate on the table each night
Just to keep from going insane

I've tried whiskey and women
Till it didn't matter
If I knew my right from my wrong
Then I made a decision
To live with your memory
Pretending that you wasn't gone

I gave up on trying to get over you
I done everything that a man can do
To soften the pain when our love was through
I gave up on trying to get over you

All of your clothes are hung back in the closet
Next to the bed beside me
I put your pictures up on the wall
Just the way that they used to be

I threw Mexican perfume all over the dresser
And cigarette butts on the floor
It's hard to conceive anyone could believe
That you don't live here no more

I gave up on trying to get over you
I done everything that a man can do
To soften the pain when our love was through
I gave up on trying to get over you
