lyrics

I’d miss you if I knew that you will come back,
but I know I’d be a fool to wait for you
so I’m sitting here pretending, that everything is all right
and waiting for someone who’ll be true

but if you decide to do this, all over again
and show your pretty face on my front door
you better bring some chocolate, big bouquet of flowers
some whiskey and your head on the platter

I’ve spent my time of wondering and sighing
I’ve paid my share of being sad and blue
It’s time to move on, I’ll be picking up the pace
but know that I’ll be thinking of you

I’ve slowed my heart till it got silent
so I can drag my legs when I can’t move
buried all our belongings, I’ve got nothing to lose

I’d miss you if I knew that you will come back,
but I know I’d be a fool to wait for you
It’s time to move on, I’ll be picking up the pace
but know that I’ll be thinking of you

but if you decide to do this, all over again
and show your pretty face on my front door
you better bring some chocolate, big bouquet of flowers
some whiskey and your head on the platter
some whiskey and your head on the platter
