It's over now, I can't compete I don't know how I'm still standing on my feet So turned around and incomplete I'm not that happy woman that I used to be Oh, please tell me what did you mean When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie But in your heart you know that truth And I'm trying to forget All the things you put me through (Oh baby) I never thought you'd turn you back And walk away from love like that While I was holding on to you All you did was let me go I never thought I would regret The way I felt when we first met And now I'm standing here Alone in this world, alone It's over now, we can't go on In my eyes I thought that you could do no wrong It's no surprise we both belong Because of you my heart's singing us that song Oh, please tell me what did you mean When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie But in your heart you know that truth And I'm trying to forget All the things you put me through (Oh baby) I never thought you'd turn you back And walk away from love like that While I was holding on to you All you did was let me go I never thought I would regret The way I felt when we first met And now I'm standing here Alone in this world, alone I can't believe our love is over now Where did love go And why did I believe that we would be together forever Now it's all a memory I never thought you'd turn you back And walk away from love like that While I was holding on to you All you did was let me go I never thought I would regret The way I felt when we first met And now I'm standing here Alone in this world, alone I never thought you'd turn you back And walk away from love like that While I was holding on to you All you did was let me go I never thought I would regret The way I felt when we first met And now I'm standing here Alone in this world, alone
