Half a Mind

Can't remember when you told me
We'd be better off apart
I am awfully sure I can't remember
How you sold me on the day you killed my heart
Have you forgotten where the knife is?
Do you wanna wish me well, too?
And if you're calling just to ask me how my life is
I've got a half a mind to tell you

It's a lovely thing to know you're listening
It's a lovely thing to know you're on the line
It's the simple things that make me happy
That's the gift of half a mind

Forgive my manners, how have you been?
It's been ages since we spoke
When you said you weren't good enough for me
Then I was too sick to get that joke

It's a lovely thing to know you're listening
It's a lovely thing to know your life is fine
It's the simple things that give me pleasure
That's the joy of half a mind

Thanks for asking how I'm doing
It's so grand to hear your voice
Unless I miss my guess, it's closure you're pursuing
I suppose it's now my choice

It's a lovely thing to know you're listening
And just to hear you've left it all behind
It's the simple things that get me through now
That's the gift of half a mind
Such a lovely thing to know you're listening
Such a lovely thing to know you're on the line
It's the simple things that make me happy
That's the gift of half a mind
