Being alone, no one witnesses me smile or cry
but sometimes we're just not meant to know why.
I'm starting to love me as well as I loved you.
Be codependent on myself is what I must do.
Gourmet meals for one, Egyptian cotton sheets,
cooking is still fun and my bed is still made neat.

There's nobody to share the thoughts in my head
the food on my plate or the space in my bed.
But there's more room to roam and stretch and grow
and the shit runnin round my head you don't want to know.
You won't see me dance, you won't hear me sing.
I'm coming out of your trance, you won't mean a thing.

You said we drank too much, we spent too much
but now you're the only penny-pinching lush.
I take in much more sun and much less wine.
Begun to punish myself for every crime;
when I wish my mouth were damp
I do sit ups like I'm in boot camp.

I do miss your tight tummy and soft caress
but it doesn't balance out the pain and duress.
The seeds you planted I've started to fertilize.
My feelings for you I've begun to sterilize.
You gave me a great head start with that kick in the ass
now I focus on a bright future and not a dark past.

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
