Things got better when you left, your friends always say that
But I think you better check your leaving memo contract
You don't get to say, you don't get to say goodbye
And I don't want to be the one, but I could try.

Things got better when you left, I hang my hat upon it
People say I'm somewhere else, what's so sad about it?
Even though it means, even though it means goodbye
And I don't want to be the one,

I don't want to be the one here
I don't want to be the one, but I could try.

You're not talking and I'm not talking
The dog's not talking and no one's talking at all
When you're home.
No bark in the street, no bark in the yard, no bark in the house
Next bark is the sound.. of... my own... war for peace.

Things got better when you left, so tell your friends about it
I've been saying it to myself, that I can't live without it.
Even though it means, even though it means goodbye
And I don't want to be the one,

I don't want to be the one here
I don't want to be the one, but I could try.

I don't want to be the one, but I could try.
