What do you do when your lover has left you?
What do you do when your love has gone bust?
Where do you locate the strength to keep going?
And to adjust, as you must?

How do you cope when there’s no one beside you?
How do you cope with a table for one?
A life full of emptiness, your love denied you,
And come undone, and come undone?

100% of the daily decisions
Are yours to evaluate, yours to assess,
Weighing the pros and cons of situations
For no or yes.
100% of the daily decisions
Are just like a coat that’s too heavy to wear,
Stitching together the threads of a burden
Too much to bear.

So like a bitter pill when love’s rejected
And tossed in the general direction of trash,
And all that remains is a heart unprotected
From the lash, from the crash.

What do you do when your lover has left you?
What do you do when your love has gone bust?
Where do you locate the strength to keep going?
And to adjust, as you must?
