[Verse 1]
It happens every time I think about the reasons why
I'm sittin' here alone at night and not with you
Heartache takes control and lets me know just what a fool
I was and how you can't erase the things you do

[Chorus]
And sorry just can't mend the broken heart I've handed you
Breaking hearts is what most broken hearts tell you to do
But I'm a long, long way from over you
Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue
They say that time will heal, don't know if I ever will
'Cause I'm a long, long way from over you

[Verse 2]
Now over you just sounds like some lost city
People tell me how to find but somehow I just never do
And maybe it's because I never wanted to at all
Of course now I see that I had the best in you

[Chorus]
That clock just runs in circles, days just going by
Memories hold me closer, and no matter how l cry
I'm still a long, long way from over you
Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue
They say that time will heal, don't know if I ever will
'Cause I'm a long, long way from over you
[Chorus]
That clock just runs in circles, days just going by
Memories hold me closer, and no matter how l cry
I'm still a long, long way from over you
Don't think I've ever seen so many shades of blue
They say that time will heal, don't know if I ever will
'Cause I'm a long, long way from over you

[Bridge]
Aww, come on banjo
Aww, how about that mandolin there?
Alright, flat-top
How about a little of that pedal-steel guitar?
Yeah, I think we need a little bass and drums now
Aww, c'mon everybody

[Outro]
They say that time will heal, don't know if I ever will
'Cause I'm a long, long way from over you
