Pain falls around me   Like a shadow in the night   And it hangs like a curtain   Til morning brings light   I've been hurting so long   I'm starting to wonder   If I'll ever leave you behind   I know I'll forget you   It's a matter of time      If it's the last thing I do   I'll sleep without dreaming   Your memory won't wake me   To cry in the dark   When my heart isn't beating   It might finally quit aching   I'll get over you   If it's the last thing I do      You're my love of a lifetime   The one I knew would last   And I know I'll spend my future   Livin' in my past   But there will come a time   When my tears have all fallen'   And I can keep livin' for today   And this heartache will release me   And I can fly away      If it's the last thing I do   I'll sleep without dreaming   Your memory won't wake me   To cry in the dark   When my heart isn't beating   It might finally quit aching   I'll get over you   If it's the last thing I do      I'll get over you   If it's the last thing I do
