Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Living in a broken home alone
Sixteen weeks since you've been gone
As time goes by, there's no pieces left
No memories of you and me, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
To shut out feeling lonely
I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
[Verse 3]
To shut out feeling lonely
I get out of my head
Why would you wanna love somebody
When love hurts in the end?
[Verse 4]
Free to see the world now as my own
Sleep with any woman that I want
But anytime anyone gets close
Breaks through my mind what I have lost
[Verse 5]
To shut out feeling lonely
I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
[Verse 6]
To shut out feeling lonely
I get out of my head
Why would you wanna love somebody
When love hurts in the end?
[Verse 7]
You called to say you're missing me
But never ask how I feel
Well, I'm beaten, I'm broke
I'm out of my mind
But learning to get on by fine
[Verse 8]
To shut out feeling lonely
I get out of my head
Lost everything around me
Not dealing with it well
[Verse 9]
To shut out feeling lonely
I get out of my head
Why would you wanna love somebody
When love hurts in the end?
Love hurts in the end
