I can learn to live alone and move on with my life

There's a million things that I can do to occupy my time

I can wake each morning, I can go about my day

I can fumble through my words until I find a few to say

But the hardest thing I've had to do since we've been apart

Is learning how to deal with all this pain inside my heart

'Cause I don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

I don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

I can work all day or I can hang out every night

I can do the wrong things and pretend that they're alright

I can make believe that everything is cool

And put on the face that covers up the lies of a fool

But I don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

I don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

You said that time would ease the pain

But I still hear your voice whisper my name

Since you've been gone my world stands still

You said I'd forget but I never will

Don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

I don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

I can write a song and make the whole world laugh or cry

I can use some words to paint a vivid picture in your mind

I can use my hands to wipe the dust off this guitar

And let the music that I'm playing take my mind off my heart

But I don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

I don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

You said that time would ease the pain

But I still hear your voice whisper my name

Since you've been gone my world stands still

You said I'd forget, but I never will

Don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

I don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

Don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you

I don't know how, don't know how

Don't know how not to love you
