It's hard sometimes
It's hard to say
But now I know
Why you went away
You never wanted
You never cared
But the joke's on you
'Cause I'm not there
Everybody knows why
It's really not a surprise
Close your eyes, blow out the candles
Put your pictures on the mantle
Close the lid on the chest
Turn the page in this digest
Because it's nothing anymore
Oh it's nothing anymore
It's hard to deal
It's harder still
We'll drift apart
Or wait until
Until the time
We've realized
That all this love
Was just a lie
Everybody knows why
It's really not a surprise
Close your eyes, blow out the candles
Put your pictures on the mantle
Close the lid on the chest
Turn the page in this digest
Because it's nothing anymore
Oh it's nothing anymore
As I sit here all alone
I won't use the telephone
I'd rather sit here in the dark
Then to bless you with remarks
The time has come and now it's past
I guess the time would never last
The words are strong so they'll stay still
I'll stay quiet and fulfilled
Everybody knows why
It's really not a surprise
Close your eyes, blow out the candles
Put your pictures on the mantle
Close the lid on the chest
Turn the page in this digest
Because it's nothing anymore
Oh it's nothing anymore
