I'll Get By

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
'Til then I'll pretend

I'll play the fool
Someday I'll find another someone just like you
'Til 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...
