We said goodbye tried her hand at magic
We couldn't make us disappear
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you
So in a way I'm glad you're still here
It's a bittersweet victory
Loving the ghost in front of me
Now I can't laugh can't cry
And I can't run can't hide
What do I gotta do
What do I gotta do to keep you
What do I gotta do to keep you
From doing this to me
I wrote a couple of notes
One in love one in anger
They're lying there
Dyin' in the dresser drawer
Lived louder than my voice
Struggled through a stranger
He loved me
'Til I loved you even more
It's a bittersweet victory
Loving someone else who wanted me
Now I can't laugh can't cry
And I can't run can't hide
You get used to the pain and numb to the sting
'Til you can't feel anything
You tried to explain but I couldn't hear it
As if your words were my tears
Flowing freely warm and quiet
From the edges of my eyes and my ears
Then all that disappears
Now I can't laugh can't cry
And I can't run can't hide
Now I can't laugh can't cry
And I can't run can't hide
What do I gotta do
What do I gotta do to keep you
What do I gotta do to keep you
From doing this to me
