Lyrics

“I’m not some kind of toy, here to amuse you”
She said as she packed the car and drove away
This had been building up for a year or two
But why today over any other day?
He came home stinking of denial and old wounds
He didn’t notice that his life had changed
Morning had broken by the time he heard the news
“I just need time to get my head on straight,” she said
“But it’s only temporary”
Someday
There will be no more trouble
There will be no more tears
You won’t lose no sleep
Over all these wasted years
Every last time it was the end of the world
The earth would fracture and the roof caved in
He’d call her something crazy, she’d leave in a whirl
But in a few days there’d be peace again
He saw the flashing lights coming up the avenue
They found the car almost half a mile away
And when they said her name out loud, his lips went blue
Thought he’d have a chance to make it all OK
But then, everything’s temporary
Someday
There will be no more trouble
There will be no more tears
You won’t lose no sleep
Over all these wasted years
All these wasted years
All these wasted years
All these wasted years
