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
