Give me one last look
As you walk away
I, I don`t know what to say
I start callin` out your name
But I just can`t find the words
I know will change your mind
I`ve tried a thousand times
But I just can`t make it right
Someday I pray there will come a day
When I can open up my heart and love again
Until then I`ll get by
Somehow I`ll get by
I know I`ll get by
I take a look around
I see this lonely room
I used to share with you
Now I want to paint it blue
`Cause everywhere I turn
There`s something else I find
The notes you left behind
Were you tryin` to be kind
Tell you somethin` baby, there will come a day
When I can open up my heart and love again
Till then I`ll pretend
I`ll play the fool
Someday I`ll find another someone just like you
Till then I`ll get by
Somehow I`ll get by
I know I`ll get by
My heart don`t own me
Can`t think about it any more
Love`s just a memory
Surrounded by these lonely walls
Lately I`ve been thinkin`
I should move away
No reason left to stay
This house is haunted anyway
I`ll tell you something baby, there will come a day
When I can open up my heart and love again
Until then I`ll get by
Somehow I`ll get by
I know I`ll get by
