Song Description

The pain of divorce

Lyrics

All the bills are switched over in your name
This sense of sudden freedom is clouded over by the pain
The love you once felt for me just ain't the same
How do you know when it's over

I gave you back the keys to what used to be our home
You let me take the dog so I don't have to be alone
It'll take some getting used to, this being on m own
How do you know when it's over

Lying up at night, waiting for the phone to ring
Hoping to hear you say you didn't really mean those things
Wondering in the dark where my hope is coming from
Yeah, the phone call never comes

Trying to reason with the girl who used to care
Can't give it one more chance when another man is there
At least the dog will listen when it's all too much to bear
How do you really know when it's over

I once promised you till death do us part
You say you're mourning for the void inside your heart
I'm not sure if it's fear or my foolish pride
But I would have stayed, I would have tried

Now I've gotten used to this so-called clean slate
You call me up to ask if it's too late
You find it hard to think I'd even hesitate
But I've accepted that it's over
