When it's over, no one needs to tell you You already know When it's over and the feeling's gone It begins to show You can't live in the past, so you must go on With the need still there So you've got to be strong When it's over, really over, let go When the love's gone like a warm pretending Then you know it's so It's just an old song that you can't revive But it's all you know So like a child with a toy, you keep holding on To a broken love you held on for so long When it's over, really over, let go I thought it out from within and without And there's just no doubt I still need you I've looked at us from without and within And we just can't win We've got to give in and let go Let go When it's over You can't live in the past, so you must go on With the need still there So you've got to be strong When it's over, really over, let go
