[Intro]
Oh I might as well be talking to the wall

[Verse 1]
I've known so long, with me, you've been unsatisfied
So I finally found the strength to say goodbye
Why, already I forgot a million memories
And leaving you was easy as could be

[Chorus]
But I might as well be talking to the wall
When I tell myself I'm not missin' you at all
'Cause every time you come around, I fall
And I might as well be talking to the wall

[Verse 2]
It seems there's not a day that some friend of mine
Don't bring back a memory I'll recall
Then I'll smile and say, "You know it's been a long long time
And I hardly remember him at all"

[Chorus]
But I might as well be talking to the wall
When I tell myself I'm not missin' you at all
'Cause every time you come around, I fall
And I might as well be talking to the wall
