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 But the need's still there, so you've gotta be strong When it's over, really over, let go When the love's gone, why go on pretending When 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've 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, let go You can't live in the past, so you must go on But the need's still there, so you've gotta be strong When it's over, really over, let go
