Listen to poem:
I don't know how new song version
I don't know how
Vs 1
I still can't believe it,
that you would walk out the door...
Doesn't do me any good,
I got to pick myself off of the floor
Pre chorus
Now just how am I supposed to carry on?
I just can't accept that you're gone!
Chorus
You tell me... to forget,
to live life ...without regret,
So, I'll give it a try,
but, I don't know how...
You tell me ...not to care,
I wish I didn't... I swear
So I'll give it a try,
but, I don't know how...
You say to give up on us,
to give up on our love,
So, I'll give it a try,
but, I don't know how...
Vs 2
How could you just leave me,
I thought everything was fine...
I guess I should have known,
but, I didn't want to read the signs...
Pre chorus
Now just how am I supposed to carry on?
I just can't accept that you're gone!
Chorus
You tell me... to forget,
to live life ...without regret,
So, I'll give it a try,
but, I don't know how...
You tell me ...not to care,
I wish I didn't... I swear
So I'll give it a try,
but, I don't know how...
You say to give up on us,
to give up on our love,
So, I'll give it a try,
but, I don't know how...
Finale
You say to give up on us...
to give up on our love...
So, I'll give it a try...
but, I...
don't...
know...
how...
