Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And she pours herself
Another cup of coffee
As she contemplates
The stain across the wall
[Verse 2]
And it's in between
The cleaning and the washing
That's when looking back's
The hardest part of all
[Verse 3]
And she always did her best
To try and please him
While he always did his best
To make her cry
[Verse 4]
And she got down on her knees
To stop him leaving
But he always knew one day
He'd say goodbye
[Verse 5]
Where are your friends
Where are your children
Is this your house
Is this your home
Does nothing ever last forever
Does everybody sleep alone
[Verse 6]
Oh
And he tears the business tags
From his old suitcase
As he packs away
The pieces of his life
[Verse 7]
They all love him
But they always try to change him
That's what happens when
A girl becomes your wife
[Verse 8]
And she pours herself
Another cup of coffee
As the pictures leave
A clean space on the wall
[Verse 9]
And it's in between
The leaving and the loving
That's when looking back's
The hardest part of all
[Verse 10]
Where are your friends
Where are your children
Is this your house
Is this your home
Does nothing ever last forever
Does everybody sleep alone
[Verse 11]
Alone
No
Oh, yeah
[Verse 12]
Don't look back
And don't give up
Pour yourself another cup
Another cup
(Don't look back)
(And don't give up)
(Pour yourself another cup)
[Verse 13]
As she pours herself
Another cup of coffee
And she pours herself
Another cup of coffee
[Verse 14]
And don't look back
(Don't look back)
(And don't give up)
Coffee
[Verse 15]
She pours herself
Another cup of coffee
Don't look back
Don't give up
Another cup
[Verse 16]
Oh, don't look back
And don't give up
As she pours herself
Another cup of coffee...
