Lyrics When It's Over - Dan Seals

When It's Over

When it’s over, no one needs to tell you
You already know
When it’s over and the feeling’s gone
It begins to show
You can’t live in the past, so you must go on
But the need’s still there, so you’ve gotta be strong
When it’s over, really over, let go
When the love’s gone, why go on pretending
When you know it’s so?
It’s just an old song that you can’t revive
But it’s all you know
So like a child with a toy, you keep holding on
To a broken love you held on for so long
When it’s over, really over, let go
I’ve thought it out from within and without
And there’s just no doubt I still need you
I’ve looked at us from without and within
And we just can’t win, we’ve got to give in and let go
Let go
When it’s over, let go
You can’t live in the past, so you must go on
But the need’s still there, so you’ve gotta be strong
When it’s over, really over, let go
