So this is it
It's over
I'm still here and you are gone
And nothing I can do is gonna bring you back again - not even this song
So I tell myself I should accept it
I tell myself it's gonna be alright
I'm too sad to sleep but I can still watch Dr
House - the entire second season in one night
And then I got another haircut and I went for a swim
I did every usual trick
I try to tell myself: what doesn't kill me makes me stronger
But what doesn't kill me just makes me sick
I think I'll have to turn to Buddhism to cope
The Dalai Lama never had a broken heart
For if the longing goes the pain will too
I'm sure the Dalai Lama wouldn't long for you as much as I do
It's true my love for you wasn't always unattached
I didn't see it then
Looking at it now, from a Buddhist perspective, I did several things that weren't really Zen
Sometimes I would cry just out of fear that I might lose you

If you think of it, that's kinda selfish too
One time I even told my mother I wanted to marry you
I'm sure that's also something that the Dalai Lama wouldn't do
But anyway - it's over and I should get over it
Life is like a lotus flower growing on a pile of shit
I think I'll have to turn to Buddhism to cope
The Dalai Lama never had a broken heart
For if the longing goes the pain will too
I'm sure the Dalai Lama wouldn't long for you as much as I do
So now I'm trying to practice
I greet the sun every day
If I choose meditation over medication maybe the pain will go away
Anyway
I read this book about mindfulness, but my mind's just full of you
I did an exercise with concentrating on a spoon
The spoon didn't tell me what to do
But if I start believing in reincarnation I can kiss you once again in the lifetime after this
Unless if I get reborn as a spider, or a fly, or another creature unable to kiss
I think I'll have to turn to Buddhism to cope
As long as there is Karma, there is hope
If I make it through this life somehow we can still be together a thousand years from now
If I just turn to Buddhism to cope
I lost the love of my life
And the Buddha makes it bearable
But I don't want to be a Buddhist
I want to be your wife
