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
