[Verse 1] Well, ever since she went away I've been a mess inside And there's nothing you could do to get me satisfied And my heart's turned against me and it won't abide But I don't really miss her like I miss my pride [Verse 2] Well there's a weight on my back and there's a thorn in my side There's a stone in my chest where my heart should reside And peace of mind is more than even she could provide But I don't want her back like I want my pride [Chorus] Well, I know I'll find another I know we wasn't meant for each other But oh, all that love in vain She was so quick to recover Was I just some two-bit lover? If she would suffer she would ease my pain
[Verse 3] Well, in no time flat she found a faster ride She took the first good-looker and she opened wide While I've been suffering alone in the great divide But I don't really need her like I need my pride [Verse 4] Well, I drive by her house to see his bike outside And I dream every night it's someone else's pride But if I tell you she's the one then you know I've lied 'Cause I don't really love her like I love my pride [Chorus] Well, I know I'll find another I know we wasn't meant for each other But oh, all that love in vain She was so quick to recover Was I just some two-bit lover? If she would suffer she would ease my pain [Instrumental Outro]
