Lyrics
My Better Half
I found a piece of a picture
That I had torn in two
Me staring lovingly
At what used to be you
Below it I?d written our love?s epitaph
"Me minus my better half"
And now from another lifetime
You?ve returned to see
How is it I survived
With the little you left of me
It hasn?t been easy you do the math
What?s me minus my better half
Is it closure that you?ve come for
Is it just curiosity
Are you still looking for that missing puzzle piece
Time has softened all the edges
Like sea glass on the shore
I can hold you now
You can?t hurt me anymore
And so I pay for the coffee
And we embrace as friends
And I have one long last look
?cause I know I?ll never see you again
I step aside and you return to the past
I wave goodbye to my better half
