I’ve seen it a thousand times
People don’t read the print that’s fine
In their relationship’s contract
They use their words to attack

He said something that was mean
His stupid words made them agree
That they’d never speak again
Got the papers it was over then

Say they don’t wanna waste their lives
Spend time with someone who’s not right
Why were they ever together
If it wouldn’t last forever

It’s been called a big mistake
But how many hearts will have to break
Before they finally get it right
So many don’t sleep at night

Just because they leave a while
They’ll be back but with a smile
Realize who was wrong
No one really leaves for long

If they bail never to return
The stuff they left will probably burn
And after you have parted
You’re right back where you started
