You're Not Around Anymore - Michael Vickers 

I've been here before all I can say is sorry
Won't do me any good, it's only words
My words, don't back up my actions
I've been here before, you'd think I'd learn by now
Pictures on the wall, they just remind me how
I let you down
You're Not Around Anymore

I'll be fine without you, how
Will I get by without you now?
I'll be fine without you

Broken promises; I lift you up and drop you down
Love don't exist, it's just a word
A word I wish that I respected
Broken promises, man I'm the worst somehow
A moment of madness, a lifetime of hurt and now
You're not around, you're not around anymore

I'll be fine without you, how
Will I get by without you now?
I'll be fine without you
Even if I won't allow me to
I'll get by without you

Spoke on the phone, you'd think that I would listen
But I'd been drinking alone and it's a curse
'Cos girl, I put my foot in my mouth
Spoke on the phone, was lost for words and how
What I planned to say, it didn't work it out
I'm certain now, you're not around anymore
And I keep pretending

I'll be fine without you, how
Will I get by without you now?
I'll be fine without you
Even if I won't allow me to
I'll be fine without you
I'll be fine without you
I'll be fine without you
