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
