Breaking Up Is Tough

They say that breaking up is tough,
now I know that it’s true,
one day we’ll go separate ways,
and all the blame’s on you.

Maybe we shared some good times,
up and down all those years,
but baby far too often now,
you’ve reduced me to tears.

Some nights you’ve kept me awake,
until the early hours,
but never brought me breakfast,
or even bought nice flowers.

Now I want you gone from my bed,
and banished from my head,
take a mirror to yourself,
reflect on what’s been said.

You don’t deserve a boyfriend,
girlfriend, husband, or wife,
you’ll be shocked when I change the locks,
on you my working life.
