Was the morning after she left;
I was up all night drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes.
I don't care if she's gone again;

that's the last time I let her get to me this way?
I just don't care.


[Chorus:]
And I know that I tried this time
Just the same as I tried before.

And I know she can't pull those strings any more.
She can't touch me
I've turned my back.


I got dressed, read the paper twice.
Found a story about a young boy whose mama died

Left him alone in it.
it's okay, I'm down to me again;
Just another workin' day out in front of me?

So let's get on with it.

[Chorus]


I got home kinda late tonight
And I halfway expected to see you again?

You just weren't here.
And I cared and it cut me deep?
For a moment I cried

Then I lay down and put me to sleep.

[Chorus]
