Tough Act
We rode it to a dead end
Saying goodbye to a best friend
Is the bad part of the right thing to do
I was hard to handle
And we burnt out like a birthday candle
The pictures on the mantle aren't true
Everybody knows that a breakup
Is better when there's someone to hate, but
You were my favourite way to stay up
And I'd say that still
I know the reasons
Took a couple tries to see 'em
But now everything is through
It's you I wanna call though
When all I've known of is something that I should let go of
I'll cut it at the root
And drain it 'til it's all so hollow
But you are one tough act to follow
I got busy
And you forgot how to miss me
When I'm not much of who you grew up with
Oh, you were distracted
And the silence made a hat trick
It's a long list with a lasting fix
Everybody knows that a breakup
Is better when there's someone to hate but
You were my favourite way to stay up
And I'd say that still
I know the reasons
Took a couple tries to see 'em
But now everything is through
It's you I wanna call though
When all I've known of is something that I should let go of
I'll cut it at the root
And drain it 'til it's all so hollow
But you are one tough act to follow
And I know that we weren't perfect
So I hope you meet someone tomorrow
And she's everything you wanted
But I hope I'm one tough act to follow
I know the reasons
Took a little time to believe 'em
Now everything is through
It's you I wanna call though
When all I've known of is something that I should let go of
I'll cut it at the root
And drain it 'til it's all so hollow
But you are one tough act to follow
You are one tough act to follow
Saying goodbye to a best friend
Is the bad part of the right thing to do
I was hard to handle
And we burnt out like a birthday candle
The pictures on the mantle aren't true
Everybody knows that a breakup
Is better when there's someone to hate, but
You were my favourite way to stay up
And I'd say that still
I know the reasons
Took a couple tries to see 'em
But now everything is through
It's you I wanna call though
When all I've known of is something that I should let go of
I'll cut it at the root
And drain it 'til it's all so hollow
But you are one tough act to follow
I got busy
And you forgot how to miss me
When I'm not much of who you grew up with
Oh, you were distracted
And the silence made a hat trick
It's a long list with a lasting fix
Everybody knows that a breakup
Is better when there's someone to hate but
You were my favourite way to stay up

When all I've known of is something that I should let go of
I'll cut it at the root
And drain it 'til it's all so hollow
But you are one tough act to follow
You are one tough act to follow
