I wake up every morning
and long to find you there
But only empty walls look back,
and empty walls don't care
I had breakfast just for one,
it used to be for two
And that's the way the day begins
When you're livin' like a fool
Each day I meet the same old friends
And tell the same old lies
I don't miss him, pardon me,
there's something in my eyes
And as the days and nights go on,
I take a drink or two
And that's the way the day goes by
when you're living like a fool.
At night I go out on the town,
what else is there to do?
Although I'd gladly trade it all
to be in love with you
But till I put aside my pride
and I hope that you will too
I have to go on tellin' lies
and livin' like a fool
Each time I meet the same old friends
and tell the same old lies
Well, I don't miss him, pardon me,
there's something in my eye
But till I put aside my crying,
I hope that you will too
I have to go on telling lies
and living like a fool
I have to go on telling lies and living
And like a fool
