"Useless"

(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...
