The bright lights don't thrill me like they used to do
They only remind me of times spent with you
And every old memory rekindles the flame
I've got to stop loving you and start living again

The people all tell me with time I'll forget
The sweet love you gave me and there'll be no regrets
But each time I see you, it's always the same
Oh, I've got to stop loving you and start living again

I've got to stop dreaming about all the times
When you told me, you loved me and would always be mine
And maybe one day find somebody new
And start living over and stop loving you

The rain on my window flows down like tears
It seems to know that I'm lonesome in here
Oh, I guess, I should step out and see some old friends
I've got to stop loving you and start living again
Oh, I've got to stop loving you and start living again
