Girl  don't be sad

You know what you're missing

No reason to feel bad

He don't mean much with his kisses

You're  gonna make it through

You have  always been surviving

I've got faith in you

And I know you'll get it going



But  you can't go back

To what it never was

To repossess, what  you never owned

But you can't go back

To what it never  was

This is that  time, this is that time

When you're better  off alone



Girl don't  you see

There's nothing more  to see there

You've got a friend in me

And I will always be here

And you know it won't be long

Until it's all behind  you

You will meet someone

Someone's bound to find you



But  you can't go back

To what it never was

To repossess, what  you never owned

But you can't go back

To what it never  was

This is that  time, this is that time

When you're better  off alone



Even alone at night

You will be all right

You're  so strong – you will get over him

And there will be  times

That  I'll expect these lies

Not to comfort – but remind  you



But  you can't go back
