Released Version
Its 3am and I can’t call you
its 3am I’m left alone
I’m feeling like I oughta warn you
I’m not so good since you’ve been gone
I can reason out the why you left me I can rationalize in my unreasonable state but my heart and my head they dont line up correctly I’m locked between love and hate
*Chorus...* People say that I'll get through this people say that life goes on and I know I know that time will heal it but in the here and now.....I’m not that strong In the here and now I’m not that strong in the here and now I’m not that strong no....no... no....no… I’m not that strong
I see your fingers dance along his spine I know you’re shivering with the newness of the first time but does he know every word you whisper’s a feeling and a memory that used to be mine
*Chorus...* People say that I'll get through this people say that life goes on and I know I know that time will heal it but in the here and now.....I’m not that strong In the here and now I’m not that strong in the here and now I’m not that strong no....no... no....no… I’m not that strong
(Here and now) I’m standing knowing you’re replacing me (Here and now) I’m aching knowing we can no longer be (Here and now) I know he’s kissing you, he’s touching you your mind, body and soul all open wide
*Chorus...* People say that I'll get through this people say that life goes on and I know I know that time will heal it but in the here and now.....I’m not that strong In the here and now I’m not that strong in the here and now I’m not that strong no....no... no....no… I’m not that strong
