Lyrics

The Break-Up For Real

Go back and see the folks

They're always glad to see you

Trot out the tired old jokes

Avoid the things that seem new

No talk about the wife

She lives with someone else now

Forget your former life

Warm love became a cold cow

Driving to the coast

It's hard to know what hurts the most

Learning how to feel

It's the break-up for real

Go out to see some friends

You hope that you won't lose it

You sit there and pretend

Play adolescent music

Singing to the sea

You sing the songs that set you free

Learning how to feel

It's the break-up for real
