Lyrics
Wakin’ up just ain’t the same without you , all at once I’ve come to realize
How much you loved the man you saw in me, and how I took the magic from your eyes.
Most of what you gave I took for granted, I never knew how much I needed you
But now your love’s just something that I used to feel
And smilin’s just a thing I used to do
From far away the broken dreams of yesterday haunt the darkened corners of my mind
And though I thought I’d won, no matter how I run
I just can’t seem to leave it all behind
There’s nothing but an empty road ahead of me, as I look for love without a clue
‘Cause now you’re just another girl I used to know
And smilin’s just a thing I used to do
Morning comes and I’m awake alone again
Even though there’s someone lying by my side
And every night I’ve had to face a cold, dark wind
While I suffer through those dreams I can never realize
Now I stand alone before the mirror, how much longer must I face the truth
Your touch is just another fading memory
And smilin’s just a thing I used to do
Happy is just something that I used to be
And smilin’s just a thing I used to do
