Wish that I could be just a little more convincing
When I hear me saying "fine, how 'bout you"
You look like you're making out alright
Can't say it's good to see you here tonight
Guess I could try to mix small talk and play it cool

I don't know how to do that
Fake a smile and act like it don't hurt
I don't know how to do that
Just pretend you don't matter anymore
You found a way to start allover again
I know I should, I wish I could forget
I don't know how
I don't know how to do that, no no

You'd think by now I'd have long since forgotten
But there's a part of me that just keeps hangin' on
And even if there's not a chance, I can't seem to understand
How to live my life now that you're gone

I don't know how to do that
Fake a smile and act like it don't hurt
I don't know how to do that
Just pretend you don't matter anymore
You found a way to start allover again
I know I should, I wish I could forget
I don't know how
I don't know how to do that, no no

I thought for sure it won't be long till you come runnin' back
But I'm still tryin' to find a way to put you in the past

I don't know how to do that
Fake a smile and act like it don't hurt
I don't know how to do that
Just pretend you don't matter anymore
You found a way to start allover again
I know I should, I wish I could forget
I don't know how
I don't know how to do that, no, no, no
I don't know how to do that, fake a smile
I don't know how to do that
