Girl don't be sad 
 You know what you're not missing 
 No reason to feel bad 
 He don't mean much with his kissing 
    You going to make it through 
 You have always been surviving 
 I've got faith in you 
 And I know you'll get it going   
 But you can't go back 
 To what it never was 
 To repossess, what you never owned 
 But you can't go back 
 To what it never was 
 This is that time, this is that time 
 When you're better off alone   
 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   
 But you can't go back 
 To what it never was 
 To repossess, what you never owned 
 But 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 
 You're so strong, you will get over him 
 And there will be times 
 That I'll expect these lines 
 Not to comfort, but remind you   
 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 
 This is that time, this is that time 
 When you're better off alone
