It’s too late to be smart now
I’m all out of clever things to say
You’re gone and I’m alone now
I never meant for things to end this way
But it seems you can’t help it
You keep on flirting ‘til I can’t see straight
It ain’t fair
But I guess you’ve got to roll with the punches
It’s true I can’t get you of my mind
It’s you and the mess you left behind

I’m knocked out. I’m on the ropes now
I never knew that love could hurt this bad
My friends say you’re better off now
But better off is still a little too sad

It seems you can’t help it
You keep going ‘til it’s just too late to
Back down
But I guess you’ve got to roll with the punches

It’s true I can’t get you of my mind
It’s you and the mess you left behind
It’s sad: I keep waiting by the phone
It’s me left here all alone
