Lyrics

Lost in day to day
Turned another way
With a laugh, a kind hello
And some small talk with friends I know
I forget that I'm not over you for a while

A wave, an easy grin
A smile to put them in
Got other lives to listen to
And some music that I have to do
I forget that I'm not over you for a while

Days go by with no empty feeling
Until I touch my hair and touch my skin
And remember you're gone

People say to me, "hey nina do you need some company?
When you have some time to spend
Drop around-you need your friends."
They forget that I'm not over you for a while
They forget that I'm not over you for a while
