A TEAR / KING ARTHUR
Okay, you've made your big announcement,
And now you're going away,
And I suppose this was the point where
I was supposed to crumble and say,
"Baby, I can't live without you,
Leave me and I'm dead."
I guess you would have liked that -
I s'pose that's what I shoulda said.
Somewhere in my memory,
I can feel the way it felt
When I was here before.
What was that on my cheek?
That was a tear -
But that was a long, long time ago.
That was a long, long time ago.
So now you've launched your ultimatum
And it didn't have the hoped-for effect.
And if you're wondering how to take this,
Well, you can take it as a sign of disrespect.
'Cause I'll be fine without you;
Pack up your stuff, be on your way.
You're gonna have to go on living,
Knowing I'm gonna be okay.
(chorus)
When I was a younger man,
I got my heart broke a time or two.
I vowed it wasn't gonna happen again;
Party's over, game is through.
(chorus)
