GI sit Dalone in this empty Emhouse
And your Dvoice just like a Cghost

GI packed your Dclothes and photoEmgraphs
Sent your Dlittle treasures Cback to where you're Gliving
CGuess now I'm Dforgiven

GMy life goes Don just like Embefore
In and Dout of closing Cdoors
I don't Glove it
CBut I learn to Drise above it
GI found a Dgirl now who will Emlove me the Dway I want her Cto
She don't Gshout it
CWe don't ever Dtalk about it
CHORUS
EmI   Ccan't believe it's GtrueG  
EmI thought I'd Calways Gbe in love with Dyou
EmNow Dand forEmever
