I was woke up by the phone today
She said she wanted to talk to me
but she didn't have much to say
I asked her how she was
and if they were doing okay
It was great to hear her voice again
but I didn't have much to say

So I listened in the silence
to the beating of my heart
I had thought that it was over
and I had come so far
but memories still linger
and I am still alone

I was lying there, dying there
Wondering if I was breathing air
or still living for her
When will I be free, It seems to me
this is how it's always gonna be
I'll never stop loving her
I'll never stop loving her

I got up then to start my day
I tried to use life's distractions
to make a clean escape
I did it all again like the day before
'til I was convinced I was okay
I was confident I was strong again
when the sun set for the day

as I listened in the darkness
I heard the beating of my heart
and I felt like I was hopeless
I had slid down so far
and memories still linger
and I am still alone

I was lying there, dying there
Wondering if I was breathing air
or still living for her
When will I be free, It seems to me
this is how it's always gonna be
I'll never stop loving her
I'll never stop loving her
