                    G#                    Fm7
You've got your eye on me after all these years
                  Cm7                    A#
You think that I can't see you from over here
                      G#             Fm7
I may be out of your view but I can hear you
                     Cm7            A#
I may be out of the room but I can see you

I know you still want me, you always will
And I can guarantee I know just how it feels
To never be free completely
Sometimes you just feel so empty

      G#         A#                   Cm7
Like lately when I have been missing you
    G#       A#          Cm          A#
And I would still do anything for you

Chorus:
                D#
But we need to learn how to love who we're loving
     G#             Fm7
It's hard but we must we've got to let it go
   Cm7            A#                            G#
And  turn off the urge to know what could have been
           D# G# Fm7  Cm7 A#  G#
But I will love you forever

I was far too reckless, I know that now
Trying to make you jealous made me feel proud
But now I'm in too deep to climb out
But know that I live with my doubt, oh-oh

Like lately when I have been missing you
And I want to do everything with you

Chorus

Fm7             Cm7    A#            G#
Since we were together everybody's changed
       Fm7             Cm7       A#              G#
Our reflections in the mirror no longer look the same
          Fm7         D#          A#                   Cm7
And we're only just beginning to live the lives we'll make
A#  G#             D#                          G# G#m7 C#
But I will always miss you at the end of each day

[Chorus:
But we need to learn how to love who we're loving
It's hard but we must, we've got to let it go
And turn off the urge to know what could have been
My love let's learn how to love who we're loving
It's so hard but we must, we've got to let it go
And turn off the urge to know what could have been
But I will love you forever

    D#m7     C#    B
But we can't be together
    D#m7     C#    B
No, we won't be together
