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

Till then I'll pretend; I'll play the fool

Someday I'll find another someone just like you

Till 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.
