Spilled coffee on my last clean shirt
Knocked an ashtray on the floor
My hand shakes so that I can’t hold
A cigarette anymore
The bed’s not made and I haven’t shaved
In a week or two
But I’m getting by the best I can
While I’m getting over you
You grew restless sometime ago
For some reason I still don’t know
You said you had to find yourself
I hope in time you do
And I’ll get by the best I can
While I’m getting over you
Today’s like any other day
It’s just no day at all
For one or two old memories
Of you keep hanging on
I thought in time I’d be alright
But time’s against me too
So I’m getting by the best I can
While I’m getting over you
You grew restless sometime ago
For some reason I still don’t know
You said you had to find yourself
I hope in time you do
And I’ll get by the best I can
While I’m getting over you
And I’ll get by the best I can
While I’m getting over you
