[Intro]

C F C

[Verse]

Girl, don't be sad

You know what you're not missing

No reason to feel bad

He don't mean much with his kisses

You're gonna make it through

You've always been surviving

I've got faith in you

And I know you'll get it going

[Chorus]

But you can't go back

To what it never was

Dm Dm7 G

To repossess what you never owned

No, you can't go back

To what it never was

Dm Dm7 G

This is that time, this is that time

When you're better off alone

[Verse]

Girl, don't you see

There's nothing more to see there

You've got a friend in me

And I will always be here

And you know it won't be long

Until it's all behind you

You will meet someone

Someone's bound to find you

[Chorus]

But you can't go back

To what it never was

Dm Dm7 G

To repossess what you never owned

No, you can't go back

To what it never was

This is that time, this is that time

When you're better off alone

Even alone at night

You will be alright

G Am

You're strong, you will get over him

And there will be times

That I'll expect these lies

Not to comfort, but to remind you

[Chorus]

That you can't go back

To what it never was

Dm Dm7 G

To repossess what you never owned

No, you can't go back

To what it never was

Dm Dm7 G

This is that time, this is that time

When you're better off alone

That you can't go back

To what it never was

To repossess what you never owned

No, you can't go back

To what it never was
