�Better in Time�

by Leona Lewis

It�s been the longest winter without you
I didn�t know where to turn to
Somehow I can�t forget you
After all that we�ve been through

Going, coming
Thought I heard a knock
Whose there, no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize
That I really didn�t know

If you didn�t notice
You mean everything
Quickly I�m learning
To love again
All I know is
I will be okay

Chorus

Thought I couldn�t live without you
It�s going to hurt when it heals, too
It�ll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I�m gonna smile because I deserve to
It�ll all get better in time

I couldn�t turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put us out your feeling

If I�m dreaming
Don�t want to let it hurt my feelings
But that�s the past, I believe it
And I know that time will heal it

If you didn�t notice
You mean everything
Quickly I�m learning
Turn up again
All I know is
I will be okay

(Chorus)

Since there�s no more you and me
This time I let you go, so I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is
I�ll will be fine without you

(Chorus X2)
