Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Jamie is over and Jamie is gone
Jamie's decided it's time to move on
Jamie has new dreams he's building upon
[Refrain]
And I'm still hurting
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Jamie arrived at the end of the line
Jamie's convinced that the problems are mine
Jamie is probably feeling just fine
[Refrain]
And I'm still hurting
[Chorus 1]
What about lies, Jamie?
What about things
That you swore to be true?
What about you, Jamie?
What about you?
[Verse 2]
Jamie is sure something wonderful died
Jamie decides it's his right to decide
Jamie's got secrets he doesn't confide
[Refrain]
And I'm still hurting
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Go and hide and run away
Runaway, run and find something better
Go and ride the sun away
Runaway like it's simple
Like it's right
[Violin & Piano Instrumental]
[Chorus 2]
Give me a day, Jamie
Bring back the lies
Hang them back on the wall
Maybe I'd see
How you could be
So certain that we
Had no chance at all
[Bridge]
Jamie is over and where can I turn?
Covered with scars I did nothing to earn
Maybe there's somewhere a lesson to learn
[Outro]
But that wouldn't change the fact
That wouldn't speed the time
Once the foundation's cracked
[Refrain]
And I'm still hurting
