Go back and see the folks,
They're always glad to see you.
Trot out the tired old jokes,
Avoid the things that seem new.
She lives with someone else now.
Warm love became a cold cow.
It's hard to know what hurts the most.
It's the break-up for real.
Go out to see some friends,
You hope that you won't lose it.
You sit there and pretend -
You sing the songs that set you free.
It's the break-up for real.
