I know that he’s the one you want
And you can’t believe he’s gone
I know it didn’t always hurt
Maybe hard to find the words

I know that Johnny Walker Red
Makes you light a cigarette
I know you’re tougher than you look
And it took what it took

It was good ‘til it went bad, perfect ‘til it broke
Felt like forever love until he hit the road
Spent so many sleepless nights staring at the phone
I know you know it’s over but you still can’t let him go
Tell me baby what don’t I know

I know your favorite Reba song
How you can’t help but sing along
I know your diary’s full of dreams
And you rock a pair of jeans

I know you tried to say goodbye
With teardrops in your eyes
I know you’ve been to hell and back
For him and that’s a fact

It was good ‘til it went bad, perfect ‘til it broke
Felt like forever love until he hit the road
Spent so many sleepless nights staring at the phone
I know you know it’s over but you still can’t let him go
Tell me baby what don’t I know

I know that you’ll move on I know that you’ll stay strong
And I know all this pain will fade away
It won’t seem so heavy when your heart is good and ready
But I don’t know how long it’s gonna’ take
