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.
