mediocre man

Take me with you, she says
As I pull out onto the street
I say, there's room in the back
And she smiles and she laughs and says
Thanks, honey, you're sweet

But she stays on the front porch
As I pull away, and that
Happy smile drifts slowly from her face

Because she's going back inside
To a mediocre man
But she's gonna love him
Just as hard as she can

She only falls apart when she's all alone, yeah
She only falls apart when there's nobody home

She's quick to forgive
She's quick to forget
And yet, in her eyes you can see

The ghost of the man
That she wishes he would be
The ghost of the man that he should be

She's going back inside
To her mediocre man
But she's given up loving him
And he doesn't understand

She fell apart when he left her on her own
She fell apart when she let him into her home

Take me with you, she says
As I pull out onto the street
I say, there's room in the back
And she smiles and she laughs and says
Thanks, honey, you're sweet

And she gets into the backseat
As I pull away, and that
Happy smile gets bigger on her face

Because she's given up on her mediocre man
Found someone else to love her as hard as they can

She'll never fall apart again
Not over him

She's over him
