You ask who's laying in my bed Is it really love we're making Well my heart's hanging by a thread She's the only reason it ain't breaking Do you ever cross my mind? Darling, fact is you still do That's the reason she is here Wiping your old memory clear She's helping me get over you Helping me get over you One kiss at a time 'Cause all the pain that we've been through Still weighs so heavy on my mind Getting pass the love we lost That's a lonely bridge to cross Oh I did what I had to do I had to find somebody new Who's helping me get over you I know you've never ask his name But in your heart I know you wonder I'm not much good at playing games I'm just trying to keep from going under There's no forever in his eyes It's not the love that we once knew Oh and it might be a sin but tonight I've got a friend Helping me get over you Helping me get over you One kiss at a time 'Cause all the pain that we've been through Still weighs so heavy on my mind Getting pass the love we lost That's a lonely bridge to cross So I did what I had to do I had to find somebody new Who's helping me get over you I did the best that I could do I had to find somebody new To help me get over you
