I can't go back, and can't move on
I'm stuck right in this place
No matter who I'm with
I only see your face

I've been trying so hard every day to get you out of my head
But no matter who I'm with, I think of you instead
I get up every morning, ready for something new
But halfway thru the day, all I can think about is you

When you had what you wanted and gave it all up
and nothing else you know feels ok
When you had what you needed and now it's gone
and you can't feel good for a day
When you had what you wanted and it slipped away
and you can't sleep at night in your bed
When you had what you wanted and lost it all
there's just no moving ahead


I keep hearing we weren't right
that there's no way to go on
But I've just been sitting here hurting
since the day that you were gone

There are faces everywhere
you'd think I'd just choose one
Get out and live a little
go on and have some fun
Well I would if could for sure
but that's not where I'm at
no matter who I meet
they all just fall flat

When you had what you wanted and gave it all up
and nothing else you know feels ok
When you had what you needed and now it's gone
and you can't feel good for a day
When you had what you wanted and it slipped away
and you can't sleep at night in your bed
When you had what you wanted and lost it all
there's just no moving ahead

You live your life giving everything,
but can't seem to hit the mark
and everything that you worked for
now's a faded watermark
And all that ever felt right
turned out to be a lie
What more could a guy have done
how much harder could he try?

When you had what you wanted and gave it all up
and nothing else you know feels ok
When you had what you needed and now it's gone
and you can't feel good for a day
When you had what you wanted and it slipped away
and you can't sleep at night in your bed
When you had what you wanted and lost it all
there's just no moving ahead
