lyrics

[verse 1]
hey it’s been a while
i know it’s out of the blue
i’m sorry for my silence
and the way i left you
if you could just acknowledge
that i am such broken garbage
if it’s true
(is that too bold?)

[verse 2]
when i was still your man
you were a happy bright young woman
exuberant and generous
with love, with your affection
but i couldn’t reconcile
with the fact you no longer smiled
because of me—
i had to go

[chorus]
but look how you’ve grown
look how you’re moving on
you’re doing so much more without me
are you better off without me?
please tell me, i’d want to know

[verse 3]
remember caffe bene
and the watery chai
and the way my scars reflected
in your watery eyes?
then you said that you’d be here for me—
though i know it’s been two years,
just wanna know, does that still hold?

[chorus]
look how you’ve grown
look how you’re moving on
you’re doing so much more without me
are you better off without me?
please tell me, i’d want to know

[chorus]
look how you’ve grown
look how you’re moving on
you’re doing so much more without me
are you better off without me?
don’t tell me, i already know

[outro]
i await your response
i hope that you would answer
know you had to move on
but you brought me joy and laughter

colorado, please call
i won’t take no for an answer
don’t care you had to move on
so pardon my anger, please pick up and call
