We talk like strangers on our best behaviour

We make out that we don't need anything anymore

So you replace my number with somebody else who makes you feel like a man

You played every part

Got it down to an art

Forget about all that's gone before.

It's gonna hurt when you find somebody

And giving you love, the love that I need

It's gonna kill me when I see you happy

Happy without me.

You say you're over this but I don't believe ya

Cause you can't shut it down, shut me out

And just pretend

We keep a connection

Listening on the grapevine if you two are friends

You're keeping me close, you're not letting me go

Just in case it's not the end.

It's gonna hurt when you find somebody

And giving you love, the love that I need

It's gonna kill me when I see you happy

Happy without me.

I try not to cry when I see you laughing

I try not to think the joke is on me

Oh it's gonna kill me when I see you happy

Happy without me.

I wanna love you so much that I can't let you go

I wanna love you so much that I can't let you go

I wanna love you so much that I can't let you go

I wanna love you so much that I can't let you go.

It's gonna hurt when you find somebody

And giving you love, the love that I need

It's gonna kill me when I see you happy

Happy without me.

I try not to cry when I see you laughing

I try not to think the joke is on me

Oh it's gonna kill me when I see you happy

Happy without me.
