Lyrics
Your ex-girlfriend told me you were having a bad time Day-to-day life shouldn't be what it's all about Day-to-day life is something we all know too much about I guess you got no one to take care of you
Your ex-girlfriend told me you spent all yesterday crying I didn't know things were going so bad for you Maybe you're just trying to get her to come back to you Or work your way out of the cynical attitudes that protect you
Bad habits make our decisions for us You should try to remember, all you're holding is a handful of dust
It's not even closing time And already stars are falling out of the sky You're all lit up, you gotta do something I'll help you try
Your ex-girlfriend told me you spent all yesterday crying Now do you believe the stories when you're life's not buying I guess you got no one to take care of you
