So we KNOW some of the lyrics are incorrect. Unfortunately, in our own specific places, we sang the wrong lyrics enough that we learned them as right, and they still fit the song. We decided to change the key, as well. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Katie, don't cry, I know
You're trying your hardest
And the hardest part is letting
Go of the nights we shared
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
But compared to your eyes
Nothing shines quite as bright
And when we look to the sky
It's not mine, but I want it so

Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
I know he's there, and
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
From across the room he stares
I'll bet he gets the nerves to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess, but I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best

You're all that I hoped I'd find
In every single way
And everything I would give
Is everything you couldn't take
'Cause nothing feels like home,
You're a thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living
Is just taking breaths to stay
'Cause I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet, but I need it

Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
I know he's there, and
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
From across the room he stares
I'll bet he gets the nerves to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess, but I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best

La da da, la da da da da, la da da, whoa, ohhh

And this'll be the first time in a week
That I'll talk to you and I can't speak
It's been three whole days since I've had sleep
'Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
But we both know that I'm not that strong and
I miss the lips that made me fly

Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
I know he's there, and
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
From across the room he stares
I'll bet he gets the nerves to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess, but I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you but
Whoa, without you I'll be miserable at best...
