Well, this heart of mine
Has been hardened like a stone
It might take some time
To get back what is gone
But I'm movin' on
And you don't haunt my dreams
Like you did before
When I would curse your name
Hey

Well, I heard the news
That you were back in town
Just passin' through
To claim your lost and found
But I'm over you
And there ain't nothin' that
You could say or do
To take what you did back

You've got nerve to waltz right in
And think what's mine is yours again

I been doin' fine without you
Forgettin' all the love we once knew
And girl, I ain't the one that slammed that door
But now you say you've changed your thinkin'
But I ain't got a heart for breakin'
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
'Cause love don't live here anymore
Oh, no

Well baby, you can try
To tell me how it is
And try to justify
Everything you did
But honey, I'm no fool
And I been down this road
Too many times with you
I think it's best you go

Well, I got one thing left to say
Is you can lay in the bed you've made

I been doin' fine without you
Forgettin' all the love we once knew
And girl, I ain't the one that slammed that door
But now you say you've changed your thinkin'
But I ain't got a heart for breakin'
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
'Cause love don't live here anymore
No, no
Love don't live here anymore
Oh no, oh no

Well you don't live here anymore
Oh you don't live here anymore
Oh no
