They say that:
Sleepless nights can teach you,
How to be alone
They say that:
Dawn's eventually worth staying up for
They say your appetite returns
And you stop aching in your bones
They say
You learn to laugh again, like you laughed before
Oh, and conventional wisdom holds:
Out of sight, and out of mind
And that which does not kill us makes us strong
But conventional wisdom fails me
So does most of mankind
You see
They have short attention spans and mine's unfortunately long
You see the only good thing about loving you
Is how good it felt while it lasted
Now I
Can't seem to move past it
Yeah baby,
I'm the eighth world wonder
The eight continent
The eighth deadly sin and day of the goddamn week
The eighth Harry Potter book
And the eighth big wide, wide, blue, blue o-ocean
Yeah in a world of seven I'm the
Greatest eight you never thought you'd see
Yeah, baby, you
The only good thing about loving you
Is how good it felt while it lasted
I said, the only good thing about loving you
Is how good it felt, how good it felt
I said, the only good thing about loving you
Is how good it felt while it lasted
Now I
I can't seem to move past it
I keep, I keep waiting
Waiting to stop feeling wrong
Waiting to start being strong
Waiting to like you again
Well, then, I can't pretend I hope she
Slips and trips, and snips her Achilles
Hope she chokes on your jokes
And your bedroom lillies
Hope you fail at sailing on a tidal wave
Or get swallowed into a whirlpool and can't be saved
I hope you
Succumb constantly to the common cold
I hope you
I hope you realise you're getting old
I hope you're lonely at night
Every time you breath in
This is what it feels like
To miss my skin
Ooooh yeah
Ooooh yeaaahh
Heartbreak makes you stronger
And strength can make you great
They say that
Scabs eventually heal from your knees
Mm, but the only good thing about loving you
Is how good it felt while it lasted, babe
And when it comes to heartbreak, babe
I beg to differ, please!
The only good thing about loving you
Is how good it felt while it lasted
I said, the only good thing about loving you
Is how good it felt, how good it felt
I said, the only good thing about loving you
Is how good it felt while it lasted, babe
I said, the only good thing about loving you
Is how good it felt, how good it felt
I said, the only good thing about loving you
I said, the only good thing about loving you-ohh-oh-Good-ow
I said, the only good thing about loving you
Was how good it felt while it lasted
Now I
I can't seem to move past it
