Lyrics:

This is a somber song Justin sings about a girl he was with and still has feelings for after they chose to go their separate ways.
It is the 9th track off Timberlakes’s highly acclaimed debut album, Justified.
The beautiful days are long gone
I can't seem to breathe
Feels like it hasn't been that long
Since you walked away from me
Now I can try to act real strong
But you and I both know I still think of you that way
And you should know that
The beautiful lights, the star-filled nights
They don't mean a thing
'Cause you were my star so it don't seem right
Without you here with me
Now, I can try to act real strong
But you and I both know it's hard for me to say
You were my soul

Now, I could say that I don't love you no more
And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
And I can tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
But baby, I just wouldn't be the same
'Cause girl, your love is still on my brain

Now, when you're in love, it takes time to heal
When someone's broken your heart, it changes how you feel
Girl, I thought that you'd never do me that way
But even after all, I still think of you that way

(Now, I) Now, I could say that I don't love you no more
(I could say this, I could say that)
And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
And I can tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
But baby, I just wouldn't be the same
'Cause girl, your love is still on my brain

Now, love is a game that we both like to play
But will I win or lose if I go or if I stay? Yeah
Even though I try to hide my broken heart inside
Girl, you know me inside out and I can't get you off my mind

Now, I could say that I don't love you no more (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(I could say that I, yeah, yeah)
And I could say that I've closed the door for our love (Closed the door)
(I can tell you) And I can tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
(No, no) But baby, I just wouldn't be the same
(The same) 'Cause girl, your love is still on my brain, yeah

La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la, la, la
