Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Beautiful days are long gone
I can't seem to breathe
Feels like it hasn't been that long
Since you walked away from me
[Verse 2]
Now I can try to act real strong
But you and I both know
I still think of you that way
You should know that
[Verse 3]
Beautiful lights, the star-filled nights
They don't mean a thing
'Cause you are my star, so it don't seem right
Without you here with me
[Verse 4]
Now, I can try to act real strong
But you and I both know it's hard for me to say
You were my soul
[Chorus]
Now, I could say that I don't love you no more
And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
And I can tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
But baby, I just wouldn't be the same
'Cause, girl, your love is still on my brain
[Verse 5]
Now, when you're in love, it takes time to heal
When someone's broken your heart, it changes how you feel
Girl, I thought that you would never do me that way
But even after all, I still think of you that way
[Chorus]
Now, I could say that I don't love you no more
I could say this, I could say that
I could say that I've closed the door for our love
And I can tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
But baby, I just wouldn't be the same
'Cause girl, your love is still on my brain, yeah
[Bridge]
Now, love is a game that we both like to play
Will I win or lose if I go or if I stay? Yeah
Even though I tried to hide my broken-hearted side
Girl, you know me inside out, and I can't get you off of my mind, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Now, I could say I don't love you no more (I could say that, yeah)
I could say that I've closed the door for our love, yeah (Closed the door)
And I can tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways (I can tell you I feel it's time for us, please, no, no)
But baby, I just wouldn't be the same (Wouldn't be the same)
Girl, your love is still on my brain (Still on my brain, yeah)
[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
