We said goodbye, tried her hand at magic
We couldnt make us disappear
Not a day goes by I dont wish I had you
So in a way Im glad youre still here
Its a bittersweet victory
Lovin the ghost in front of me
Now I cant laugh, cant cry
And I cant run, cant hide
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you
From doin this to me?
I wrote a couple of notes
One in love, one in anger
Theyre lyin there
Dyin in the dresser drawer
Lived louder than my voice
Struggled through a stranger
He loved me
Til I loved you even more
Its a bittersweet victory
Lovin someone else who wanted me
Now I cant laugh, cant cry
And I cant run, cant hide
You get used to the pain and numb to the sting
Til you cant feel anything
You tried to explain, but I couldnt hear it
As if your words were my tears
Flowin freely, warm and quiet
From the edges of my eyes and my ears
Then all that disappears
Now I cant laugh, cant cry
And I cant run, cant hide
Now I cant laugh, cant cry
And I cant run, cant hide
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you
From doin this to me?
