he's out of my life

he's out of my life

he's out of my life

and i don't know whether to laugh or cry

i don't know whether to live or die

and it cuts like a knife

he's out of my life

it's out of my hands

it's out of my hands

to think the two years he was here

and i took him for granted

i was so cavalier

now the way that it stands

he's out of my hands

so i've learned that love's not possession

and i've learned that love won't wait

now i've learned that love needs expression

but i learned too late

and he's out of my life

he's out of my life

damned in decision and cursed pride

i kept my love for him locked deep inside

and it cuts like a knife

he's out of my life
