As promised, for Mingus Thurber, Esq.

  1. It's not the end of the world
    It's not even over but it will be soon
    I never learn my lessons I just change my tune
    No one seems to notice but you will, you will
    It's no big deal
    But the last thing I think of when I close my eyes
    And the first thing on my mind when I rise
    It is a day and you're not really in my life

    You can try and you won't find it where you're looking
    You can hold it til it's putty in your hands
    You can't break a heart that wasn't even yours to break
    You can never be there for me in the end
    But I will do the right thing
    I will, I will, I will
    I will, I will, I will

    You're not fooling me
    I'm not the sort of girl who can't see reason
    But it's nothing that a little bit of time won't heal
    I know it don't come easy
    But I love you, I do
    Coming clean
    Means never closing curtains I just change my scene
    Oh but you know what I mean
    And I will learn throughout my life to never lean on what will bend

    I can try and I won't find it where I'm looking
    I can hold it til it's putty in my hands
    You can't break a heart that wasn't even yours to break
    You can never be there for me in the end
    But I will do the right thing
    I will, I will, I will
    I will, I will, I will

    I don't think you ever learned a thing from me
    But I know that you want me to learn from you
    But you've drawn heavy-handed lines around morality
    About yourself and I don't share your point of view
    It's been time to let you go a thousand times you'll never know
    That it hurts to be the one that you'd regret
    I have to say that I am proud to know you
    And I'll never be the same because we met
    You might not miss this

    But I will, I will, I will
    I will, I will, I will
    I will, I will, I will
    I will, I will, I will
