It's the same routine of getting up every morning
And putting on a smile
But underneath there's another person
Who can't find a reason to make living worthwhile
Oh, another day to get through
Without the love that once was mine
Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you, and not having you
I never get used to

I've gotten used to not listening
For familiar sounds you used to make
And now I'm trying to get out of the habit
Of calling your name first thing when I awake, look here
It's like a child's first step, I have to learn to walk all, all over again
'Cause you were always there if I should fall
And now there's nobody else that I can call
It's like wanting you, and not having you
I never get used to

Lost in a crowd
I think I caught a glimpse of you
Gladly I rushed to touch your hand, ha!
To discover it's my mind playing tricks on me again

Some things you never get used to

Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you, and not having you
I never get used to

Babe, baby it's wanting you, and not having you I never get used to
Looky here, oh I'm wanting you, and not having you I never get used to
