Hurts to delete the photo to avoid remembering
And I still have to hear questions like
So, are you together or not?
But the worst of all isn't even that
It's having to get used to
Sleeping with someone, waking up alone
Going out at night again
Sharing my life, drowning in drinks
And coming home drunk
It's not easy being single
Especially when you've dated, yeah
For a year or so (for a year or so)
Sleeping with someone, waking up alone
Going out at night again
Sharing my life, drowning in drinks
And coming home drunk
It's not easy being single
Especially when you've dated, yeah
For a year or so
It's not easy being single
Especially when you've dated, yeah
For a year or so
Hurts to fight the crazy urge to call you
Hurts to delete the photo to avoid remembering
And I still have to hear questions like
So, are you together or not?
But the worst of all isn't even that
It's having to get used to
Sleeping with someone, waking up alone
Going out at night again
Sharing my life, drowning in drinks
And coming home drunk
It's not easy being single
Especially when you've dated, yeah
For a year or so
Sleeping with someone, waking up alone
Going out at night again
Sharing my life, drowning in drinks
And coming home drunk
It's not easy being single
Especially when you've dated, yeah
For a year or so
It's not easy being single
Especially when you've dated, yeah
For a year or so
