The Mess You Left Behind

It's too late to be smart now
 I'm all out of clever things to say
 You're gone and I'm alone now
 I never meant for things to end this way
 But it seems you can't help it
 You keep on flirting 'til I can't see straight
 It ain't fair, but I guess you've gotta roll with the punches
 It's true, I can't get you off my mind
 It's you, and the mess you left behind
 Knocked down, I'm on the ropes now
 I never knew that love could hurt this bad
 My friends say, "You're better off now"
 But better off is still a little too sad
 But it seems, you can't help it
 You keep on going 'til it's just too late to
 Back down, but I guess you gotta roll with the punches
 It's true, I can't get you off my mind
 It's you, and the mess you left behind
 It's sad, I keep waiting by the phone
 It's me, left here all alone
 I'm left here all alone
 It's too late to be smart now
 I'm all out of clever things to say
 It ain't fair, but I guess you've gotta roll with the punches
 It's true, I can't get you off my mind
 It's you, and the mess you left behind
 It's sad, I keep waiting by the phone
 It's me, left here all alone
 I'm left here all alone
