The Break-Up for Real

You sing the songs that set you free.
Go back and see the folks,
Theyre always glad to see you.
Trot out the same old jokes,
Avoid the things that seem new.
No talk about the wife -
She lives with someone else now.
Forget your former life,
Warm love became a cold cow.
Driving to the coast,
Its hard to know what hurts the most.
Learning how to feel,
Its the break-up for real.
Go out to see some friends,
You hope that you wont lose it.
You sit there and pretend -
Play adolescent music.
Singing to the sea,
