Before I saw you walking past my window,
Before I heard you knocking on my door,
I thought you had done with the bad times,
I never thought that you'd be back for more.
But there you are, standing right before me,
Smiling like we've never been apart,
Talking like you never said a bad word,
Laughing like you never broke my heart.
It's time you found out that things have changed,
There's more to life than ecstasy and pain,
Please pick up your bags and put them in your car,
I never want to see your face again.
Don't take out all those old photographs,
Don't you play that sad song,
Just remember when you think of me now,
You're the one who did me wrong.
I don't want to know about your new friend,
How he upped and left you high and dry,
You didn't give a damn about my life,
You didn't see me when I had to cry.
It's time you found out that things have changed,
There's more to life than ecstasy and pain,
Please pick up your bags and put them in your car,
I never want to see your face again.
I remember when I left to hit the highway,
The hurry-home tear drops on your face.
How I wished that you'd been going my way,
But my heart belonged in a different place.
