i gave up (on trying to get over you)

everything's the way that you left it baby

broken heart

the tears

and the pain

i set your plate on the table each night

just to keep from going insane

i've tried whiskey and women

till it didn't matter

if i knew my right from my wrong

then i made a decision

to live with your memory

pretending that you wasn't gone

i gave up on trying to get over you

i done everything that a man can do

to soften the pain when our love was through

i gave up on trying to get over you

all of your clothes are hung back in the closet

next to the bed beside me

i put your pictures up on the wall

just the way that they used to be

i threw mexican perfume all over the dresser

and cigarette butts on the floor

it's hard to conceive anyone could believe

that you don't live here no more

i gave up on trying to get over you

i done everything that a man can do

to soften the pain when our love was through

i gave up on trying to get over you
