Sometimes they ask me if I'm really happy now
I say sure I've never loved her anyhow
But inside I long for you and the way it used to be
I look around and there's a heartache following me
I always say that I'm really glad you're gone
I even act like I never cared at all
But your mem'ry lingers on and I'm never really free
I look around and there's a heartache following me
I pawned my ring and everything that tied me to the past
I say I never loved her never meant for it to last
But I know it's just a game and the loser's always me
I look around and there's a heartache following me
I love you because you understand, dear
Ev'ry single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
I love you most of all because you're you
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you
I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walkin' by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness you open wide
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you
