And she pours herself another cup of coffee As she contemplates the stain across the wall And it's in between the cleaning and the washing That's when looking back's The hardest part of all
And she always did her best to try and please him While he always did his best to make her cry And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving But he always knew one day he'd say goodbye
Where are your friends Where are your children Is this your house Is this your home Does nothing ever last forever Does everybody sleep alone
And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase As he packs away the pieces of his life They all love him but they always try to change him That's what happens when a girl becomes a wife
And she pours herself another cup of coffee As the pictures leave a clean space on the wall And it's in between the leaving and the loving That's when looking back's The hardest part of all
Where are your friends Where are your children Is this your house Is this your home Does nothing ever last forever Does everybody sleep alone
Don't look back Don't give up Pour yourself another cup
