Lyrics for Until You Were Gone

I said I didn't need you baby I said I'd get along (Oh) I thought I can make it without you baby But I guess I'm not that strong And I didn't know I could miss you so Until you were gone (Oh) I said I'd get over you baby I said I'd be alright (Oh) Just, just when I start remembering That all the hurt comes back in the night And I didn't know I could miss you so Until you were gone I tried to stay away 'Cause I knew I couldn't win But here I am, and I'm back again I tried to find someone Else to take your place But every time I close my eyes I can seein', seein' your face Oh, oh, oh, I said I'd forget you 'Cause I really thought I really thought that I could (Oh) Oh, oh, I thought I could stop of loving you I tried it, but it didn't do no good And I didn't know I could miss you so Until you were gone I said I'd get over you baby I said I'd be alright But, oh, oh, just when I start remembering It comes back in the night Oh, oh, oh, oh, I thought I could (Oooh) Oh baby
