So you think of what it could've been

when "time is all you've lost"

keeps burning through your head

now you fall asleep standing but lie awake in bed

watch the clock drag on and think about what you should've said

It's for the better your better half is gone

its O.K. you didn't need her anyway

and I don't want to hear you say nobody can take her place

and what more can I say you didn't need her anyways

So you think of how it should've been

and "it's just over" keeps going through your head

you're hearing all those words

time and time again

watch the phone all night and think about what you should've said.

It's for the better your better half is gone
