What's there to say

And whatever happened
To all of the love that we vowed
Yes, it's true
And there's nothing new you can say
[Chorus]
Give me the reason to want you back
And why should I love you again
Do you know
Tell me how, how to forgive and forget
Give me the reason to love you now
It's been a mighty long time
And the love that used to be
Ended the day you walked out
Never knew I'd ever be
Standing alone and outside
With no one to love
