"Except For You" lyrics

Lately, I've been wanting to call you
I've been reading the letters you once wrote me every night
Made me wonder what you've been up to
Did you move out and get that job you had in mind?

And I would say that I'm okay
That my life is amazing, and you would say I made it
I would hide the truth and lie to you
I'd tell you heavy hearted, I got everything I wanted
Everything
Except for you

Lately, I can't get around you
I see someone else making you smile more than I could
And I know, it's time to move on too
But that doesn't change the fact that if I'd run into you

That I would say, that I'm okay
That my life is amazing, and you would say I made it
I would hide the truth and lie to you
I'd tell you heavy hearted, I got everything I wanted
Everything
Except for you
