Lyrics

When I first lost you
I swore I was gonna die
But something inside me
Kept saying, "Keep on living, keep on living"
I got what I wanted
No more fights and no more lies
But way down inside me
I tell you something's missing, something's missing
I'm moving forward
I'm no longer standing still
And to live this life without you, I'll do it
But it's against my will
Nobody could ever take your place
(They'll never ever erase)
They'll never erase this love that we had
Say we had it
C'mon
C'mon
To lose someone you love
Is the worst pain that you'll ever feel
Ask me how I know
I'll tell you please believe me, please believe me
As I live from day to day
I'm slowly finding out a brand new way
And the funny part about it
Is I've got to start my life all over again
Nobody could ever take your place
(They'll never ever erase)
They'll never erase this love that we once had
Say we had it
C'mon
C'mon
Said nobody could ever take your place
(They'll never ever erase)
They'll never erase this love, this love that we once had
Say we had it
Right on
Say we had it
I can remember, baby
When you loved me
And the night time
I still love you
'Cause nobody
Ever take your place
I said nobody
Could ever take your place
Nobody
Nobody
Say I still love you
I don't wanna let you go
Said I still love you
I don't wanna let you go
'Cause
Oh, baby
Baby, yeah
C'mon, baby
Give me one more chance
C'mon, baby
Give me one more chance
Say I love ya
I don't wanna let you go
