  • If anyone asks, I'll tell them we both just moved on
    When people all stare I'll pretend that I don't hear them talk
    Whenever I'll see you I'll swallow my pride and bite my tongue
    Pretend I'm okay with it all
    Act like there's nothing wrong

    Is it over yet?
    Can I open my eyes?
    Is this as hard as it gets?
    Is this what it feels like to really cry?
    Cry

    If anyone asks, I'll tell them we just grew apart
    What do I care if they believe me or not?
    Whenever I feel your memory is breaking my heart
    I'll pretend I'm okay with it all
    Act like there's nothing wrong

    Is it over yet?
    Can I open my eyes?
    Is this as hard as it gets?
    Is this what it feels like to really cry?
    Cry

    I'm talking in circles
    I'm lying, they know it
    Why won't this just all go away?

    Is it over yet?
    Can I open my eyes?
    Is this as hard as it gets?
    Is this what it feels like to really cry?
    Cry

  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnI can see why Kelly is proud of this song, it's heartwrenching.
