living on fumes

It's been months, it's been years
It's been days filled with tears
It's a feeling
I just can't seem to shake

Since you said I had to go
Since you had to let me know
I was all wrong --
A heartache you couldn't take

That's alright I suppose
But there's somethin you should know
You're not leavin
Like I thought you would

You're still hanging around
and I still hear the sound
of your laughter
And it sounds so good

I might be livin on fumes
Memories of you
Might be hangin on to something
that's fading too fast
But what love's built in
Is never crumblin
Naw, I can tell that this is something
that's been built to last
Though I can see it clearly
Though I know you're not here
I'll go on
Go on living on fumes

you will never extricate,
never really ever go away
as long as I
keep breathing you in

I might be livin on fumes
Memories of you
Might be hangin on to something
that's fading too fast
But what love's built in
Is never crumblin
Naw, I can tell that this is something
that's been built to last
Though I can see it clearly
Though I know you're not here
I'll go on
Go on living on fumes
