Gotta change my answering machine, now that I'm alone 'Cause right now it says that "We can't come to the phone" And I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore (It's ridiculous) It's been months and for some reason I just (Can't get over us) And I'm stronger than this (Enough is enough) No more walking round with my head down I'm so over being blue, crying over you And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears So done with wishing you were still here Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow So why can't I turn off the radio? Gotta fix that calendar I have that's marked July 15th Because since there's no more you, there's no more anniversary I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you and your memory And now every song reminds me of what used to be That's the reason I'm So sick of love songs, so tired of tears So done with wishing you were still here Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow So why can't I turn off the radio? (Leave me alone) Leave me alone (Stupid love songs) Don't make me think about her smile Or having my first child Let it go Turning off the radio 'Cause I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears So done with wishing she was still here Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow So why can't I turn off the radio? Said I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears So done with wishing she was still here Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow Why can't I turn off the radio? (Why can't I turn off the radio?) And I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears So done with wishing you were still here Said I'm so sick of love songs, so sad and slow Why can't I turn off the radio? (Why can't I turn off the radio?) Why can't I turn off the radio?
