Useless

Mark Chesnutt · Thank God for Believers [1997]

(Robert Arthur, Roger Springer, Mark Wright)



The day you left I thought I knew for certain

There's no way in this world I'd wind up hurtin'

I thought getting over you was gonna be a breeze

So it all came as quite a shock when it turned out to be.



Chorus:

Useless as these empty arms

Useless as this broken heart

Useless as these nights I spend alone

I could lie and try to say

I quit loving you in just one day

But the truth is, it's useless.



Not long ago I met this little red head

And she seemed to hang on every word that I said

I thought going out with her would get you off my mind

So I spent half my paycheck in one evening just to find.



Chorus:

It's useless as these empty arms

Useless as this broken heart

Useless as these nights I spend alone

I could lie and try to say

I quit loving you in just one day

But the truth is, it's useless.

I could lie and try to say

I'd be over you in just one day

But the truth is, it's useless.



I could lie and try to say

I'd be over you in just one day

But the truth is, it's useless...
