  • And she pours herself another cup of coffee
    As she contemplates the stain across the wall
    And it's in between the cleaning and the washing
    That's when looking back's the hardest part of all

    And she always did her best to try and please him
    While he always did his best to make her cry
    And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving
    But he always knew one day he'd say goodbye

    Where are your friends? Where are your children?
    Is this your house? Is this your home?
    Does nothing ever last forever?
    Does everybody sleep alone? Oh

    And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase
    As he packs away the pieces of his life
    They all love him but they always try to change him
    That's what happens when a girl becomes a wife

    And she pours herself another cup of coffee
    As the pictures leave a clean space on the wall
    And it's in between the leaving and the loving
    That's when looking back's the hardest part of all

    Where are your friends? Where are your children?
    Is this your house? Is this your home?
    Does nothing ever last forever?
    Does everybody sleep alone? Alone, no, oh yeah

    Don't look back and don't give up
    Pour yourself another cup
    Don't look back and don't give up
    Pour yourself another cup

    And she pours herself another cup of coffee
    And she pours herself another cup of coffee
    Don't look back, coffee
    She pours herself another cup of coffee
    Don't look back, don't give up
    Another cup, huh, don't look back, don't give up
    And she pours herself another cup of coffee Writer/s: Christopher Neil, Mike Rutherford

  • Mitchell from Liverpool, UkI have to say I'm surprised this wasn't a bigger hit; it's a nice emotive ballad and the lyrics help you picture the story in your head.
