Lyrics

Some things you never get used to It's the same routine of getting up every morning And putting on a smile But underneath there's another person Who can't find a reason to make living worthwhile. Oh, another day to get through Without the love that once was mine Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end And then something brings them all back again Like wanting you And not having you I'll never get used to I've gotten used to not listenin' for familiar sounds You use to make Now I'm trying to get out of the habit Of calling your name first thing when I awake. Look a-here It's like a child's first steps I had to learn to walk all, all over again Cause you were always there If I should fall And now there's nobody else that I can call It's like wanting you And not having you I'll never get used to Lost in a crowd I think I caught a glimpse of you Blindly I rushed To touch your head To discover It's my mind playing tricks on me again (tricks on me again) Some things you never get used to Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end And then something brings them all back again Like wanting you And not having you I'll never get used to Baby, baby it's Wanting you And not having you I'll never get used to Look a-here I'm wanting you And not having you I'll never get used to
