So you think of what it could've been
When "time is all you've lost"
It keeps burning through your head and
Now you fall asleep standing but lie
Awake in bed watch the clock drag on
And think about what you should've said


It's for the better
Your better half is gone.
It's OK - You didn't need her anyway.
And I don't want to hear you say
Nobody can take her place
And what more can I say-
You don't need her anyway.


So you think of how it should've been
And "It's just over"
Keeps going through your head.
You're hearing all those words time & time again
Watch the phone all night
And think about what you should've said


It's for the better your better half is gone.
