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
