Things got better when you left
Your friends always say that
But I think you better check
Your leaving member contract
You don't get to say
You don't get to say goodbye

And I don't want to be the one
But I could try

Things got better when you left
I hang my hat upon it
People say I'm somewhere else
What's so sad about it?
Even though it means
Even though it means goodbye

And I don't want to be the one
I don't want to be the one here
I don't want to be the one
But I could try

You're not talking
And I'm not talking
The dog's not talking
And no one is talking at all
When you're home
No bark in the street
No bark in the yard
No bark in the house
Next bark is a sound of my own
War for peace

Things got better when you left
So tell your friends about it
I'll just sing it to myself
'Till I can live without it
Even though it means
Even though it means goodbye

And I don't want to be the one
I don't want to be the one here
I don't want to be the one
But I could try
