Katie  don't cry I know you're trying your hardest
 And the hardest part is letting  go
 Of the nights we shared
Ocala  is calling  and you know it's haunting
 but compared  to your eyes
 nothing shines  quite as bright
 And when we looked  to the sky
 It’s not  mine but I want  it. So...
Let’s  not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I  know he's there and)
You’re  probably hanging out and making  eyes
 (While across the room he stares)
I'll  bet he gets the nerve to walk  the floor
 And ask  my girl to dance  she'll say  yes
 
 (Because these words were never easier for me to say or /
 Her to second-guess but I guess)
 That I can  live without  you but
 (Without  I'll be  miserable at  best)
 You’re  all that I hoped I'd find
 In every single way
 And everything I would give
 Is everything you couldn't  take
 Cause nothing feels like  home
 You’re a thousand miles away
 And the hardest part of living
 Is just taking breaths to stay
 Cause I know I'm good for  something
 I just haven't  found it yet
 And I need  it so...
Let’s  not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I  know he's there and)
You’re  probably hanging out and making  eyes
 (While across the room he stares)
I'll  bet he gets the nerve to walk  the floor
 And  ask my girl to dance  she'll say yes
 
 (Because these words were never easier for me to say or /
 Her to second-guess but I guess)
 That I can  live without  you but
 (Without  I'll be  miserable at  best)
x2  (2nd  time with  ah dah dahs)
And  this will be the first time in  a week
 That I'll talk to you and I  can't speak
 It’s been 3 whole days since I've had sleep
 Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek
 And I got the point that I should leave you alone
 But we  both know that I'm not that strong
 And  I miss the lips that made me fly so...
Let’s  not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I  know he's there and)
You’re  probably hanging out and making  eyes
 (While across the room he stares)
I'll  bet he gets the nerve to walk  the floor
 And  ask my girl to dance  she'll say yes
 
 (Because these words were never easier for me to say or /
 Her to second-guess but I guess)
 That I can  live without  you but
 (Without  I'll be  miserable)
That  I can live  without you but
(Without  I'll be  miserable)
That  I can live  without you but
 (Oh without  I'll be miserable  at best)
