Stop The Tears

Air Supply · The Earth Is...

I stopped seeing all of our old friends
I don't go to places that you've been
I stopped talking about you
Started living without you
But there's just one thing i don't understand

How do i stop the tears
How am i supposed to deal with this
How do i stop the tears
Do i get over you in a week or two
When i been lovin' you for years


Everybody thinks that i'm so strong
They don't know what i go through when i'm alone
I start thinkin' about you
Goin' crazy without you
But i stop myself and i hang up the phone


How do i stop the tears
How am i supposed to deal with this
How do i stop the tears
Do i get over you in a week or two
When i been lovin' you for years


One day you'll call me up goin' crazy
Too late you'll want me back
You'll be sayin', you'll be sayin'


How do i stop the tears
How am i supposed to deal with this
How do i stop the tears
Do i get over you in a week or two
When i been lovin' you for years
