I guess I'm ready for this
Signed the papers with my tears
Didn't think it would hurt
After all these years
Friends now, like we never were
But erasing your name from mine
Even though I'm with someone else
I still think "what if we turned back time?"
You tell me you miss me
But you didn't want me when I was there
The saying is true, "you don't know what you got till it's gone"
Yet back then you couldn't bring yourself to care
Our house just wasn't a home
You were there but I was all alone
You worked all day, then with her all night
You never even answered your phone
Now I'm loved and adored
He holds me every night
Kisses me on my forehead
Tells me everything is all right
As soon as the paperwork is through
I'm marrying him after divorcing you
Love was a game I never thought I'd win-
But I did, and my prize is him.
