Sometimes I wonder, girl, will I ever be the same?

Verse 3:
When you see me smile you know
Things are just gettin' worse
Any smile you might see baby
Has all been rehearsed
Baby I can't go on without ya
This lonliness won't let me live without ya
This emptiness inside me baby
Makes me feel half alive

(repeat chorus and fade)
