Letter To My Ex

Words and music ©2000 by Dave Caruso

Dear--

I've never been a good loser
But you expect me to take it well
And you won't feel a thing now
But for me it's gonna hurt like hell

Kiss me once, kick me twice
I could use some good advice

Letter to my ex, signed with regrets
Over and over, it makes no sense
Wasted words about what went past tense
Letter to my ex
Memory forgets
Rushing to the scene of our own wrecks
(And what happens then?)
No finish fits me
Til it hits me

I try to figure the reasons
But the answer is a mystery
And I can't feel for you, now
What I know you'll never feel for me
You already told me why
Still I stand here stupefied

Letter to my ex, signed "With Regrets,"
Over and over it makes no sense
Wasted words about what went past tense
Letter to my ex, memory forgets
Starved in the winter of our disconnect
(And what happens then?)
No finish fits me
Til it hits me
This is the end

I could begin again
But I don't know where to start
--Beginning with my heart

Kiss me once, kick me twice
I could use some good advice

Letter to my ex, signed with regrets
Over and over, it makes no sense
Wasted words about what went past tense
Letter to my ex, memory forgets
Parallel lives don't intersect
Here comes the end of "since we met"
Pain is a bitch if left unchecked
(And what happens then?)
No finish fits me
Til it hits me
This is the--
(And what happens then?)
No finish fits me
Til it hits me
This is the end.
