The bright lights don't thrill me like they used to do

They only remind me of times spent with you

And every old mem'ry 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 they'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

[ guitar ]

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
