Lyrics

On the second day you forgot my name
On the third forgot my face
By halfway through day number four
I was lost without a trace

No more late night melodies
Swirling 'round my head
Just me and this empty room
And both halves of my bed

Then it hit me all at once
That I don't want you back

I don't want to see your face
With you there was no give all take
The love we had had dried up long ago and now
Only bitterness remains

I looked through all my paperbacks
Collecting all my green
To buy safe passage to your door
Decision rarely seen

But something stopped me in my tracks
As I stepped onto the train
That you aren't worth fighting for
Why go through all that pain

When I know deep in my heart
That I don't want you back

I don't want to hear your voice
For years it seemed I had no choice
The love we had had dried up long ago and then
What was left in it's place was convenience
I tried to hold on too tight for awhile
Now I don't give a damn

About the time I forgot your taste
You call me on the phone
To ask me to march back in place
But I'm better off alone

Now you know deep in my heart
That I don't want you back

I don't want to see your face
With you there was no give all take
The love we had had dried up long ago and now
Only bitterness remains

I don't want to hear your voice
For years it seemed I had no choice
The love we had had dried up long ago and then
What was left in it's place was convenience
I tried to hold on too tight for awhile
Now I don't give a damn
