Lyrics
Over and over it goes through my head
Not what you did but all that you said
Ah, you could have let it be just as it was
Isn't that what everyone else ultimately does?
Commonplace today
More than half they say
Will you be OK?
When I'm on my way
Night after night my heart grows contrite
How I wish I saw you in a different light
What's mine is mine and yours will be yours
Ah but we're not supposed to mention the word divorce
Commonplace today
More than half they say
Will you be OK?
When I'm on my way
We proclaim, then sustain
How we've lived and my we've changed
Crossing over that thin red line
Just to commit the ultimate crime
Commonplace today
What else can I say?
Will you be OK?
When I'm on my way
Oh it's The Big D
Don't ask for my pity
As it would things took their course
On our way to this divorce
Commonplace today
More than half they
I wonder if you'll be OK?
When I'm on my way
