You’ve found another lover,
That will replace me in your bed.
You’ve found another lover,
That will help take away all your dread.
You’ve found another lover,
That will hold your pieces together each day.
You’ve found another lover,
To help push me farther away.

So hold her tight
And kiss her each night
And tell her all those sweet words.
Don’t let her see
The bleeding need
That you still feel for me.

Whisper such promises,
That captures her heart,
And leave her filled to the brim.
Don’t think of my name
Inside of your brain,
Let this be your fresh start.

You’ve found another lover,
To help you go on.
And all I can do is grin.
Because I have wished for you to heal
And let your life begin.
