The Way It Was Before*

about

Live acoustic version of End of the Line, an unreleased song from just after the "Were My Sweetheart to Go..." era

*contains explicit lyrics

lyrics

Let him be, let it go.
You can’t say anymore that he doesn’t already know.
Fall asleep in the center of your bed.
Put the sound of his laughter out of your head.
Stay up late at night pacing the floor.
It’s nothing new, just go back to
The way it was before.

Cook for one. You can start at eight.
If you must, you can fix a plate of something he might like,
Just in case he decides to call up late,
Askin’ if he can just come home to you tonight.
If not, there’ll be half as much to clean up,
And who really wants more?
It’ll be nice to go back to
The way it was before.

You don’t need anyone to say “good morning” to,
Or whisper to at night!
Those nightmares that never seem to go away
Don’t warrant a hand to hold yours tight!
Yeah, you’re just stupid for thinking
Anything this good could just for once go right.
Guess what? You’ll never run out
Of shit like this to write about.

So get good with him gettin’ gone,
After some time you’ll feel alright about moving on.
So what if your heart’s been shattered once more?
Aren’t you a pro by now at putting (most of) its pieces back?
I mean, you did it the last time,
And the time before (and the time before that,
And the time before that, and the time before that,
And the time before that, and the time before that,
And the time before that, and the time before that).
