Girl don�t be sad
You know what you�re missing
No reason to feel bad
He don�t mean much with his kisses
You�re gonna make it through
You have always been surviving
I�ve got faith in you
And I know you�ll get it going

But you can�t go back
To what it never was
To repossess, what you never owned
But you can�t go back
To what it never was
This is that time, this is that time
When you�re better off alone

Girl don�t you see
There�s nothing more to see there
You�ve got a friend in me
And I will always be here
And you know it won�t be long
Until it�s all behind you
You will meet someone
Someone�s bound to find you

But you can�t go back
To what it never was
To repossess, what you never owned
But you can�t go back
To what it never was
This is that time, this is that time
When you�re better off alone

Even alone at night
You will be all right
You�re so strong � you will get over him
And there will be times
That I�ll expect these lies
Not to comfort � but remind you

But you can�t go back
