Break-Up For Real
No-Man
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.
