(Richard Marx)




I haven't been myself these days


Trying to see through a deep blue haze

Wondering if my life will ever be the same


Even though the giving in is easier than startin' over again


Don't expect to hear me call your name




Chorus:


I shout at the walls, hold my breath 'til I fall

But it won't get the better of me


I'll live with the pain until all that remains is the memory


That you used to be

Goin' nowhere fast, put my foot on the gas


Howlin' at the moon


But I won't come running on back to you




I bet you think I'm drinking too much


Spend every moment longing for your touch

That I'm in little bitty pieces on the floor


Well, I've made up mind this'll be the last time


And you held me to my word

The night you walked our future out that door





(Repeat chorus)




Don't ask me where we went wrong


You were weak, baby, now I must be strong... yeah




Chorus 2:


I shout at the walls, hold my breath 'til I fall

But it won't get the better of me


I'll live with the pain until all that remains is the memory


Where you used to be

I won't back down when you come back around


No matter what you do


But I won't come running on back to you




No, It won't get the better of me

I'll live with the pain until all that remains is the memory


Where you used to be

Goin' nowhere fast with my foot on the gas

Howlin' at the moon


But I won't come running on back to you
