I've Turned My Back

Was the morning after she left
I was up all night drinkin' coffee, smokin' cigarettes
I don't care if she's gone again
That's the last time I'll let her get to me this way
I just don't care
And I know that I tried this time
Just the same as I tried before
And I know she can't pull those strings anymore
She can't touch me. I've turned my back
I got dressed, read the paper twice
Found a story 'bout a young boy whose momma died
Left him alone in it
It's okay, I'm down to me again
Just another workin' day out in front of me
So let's get on with it
And I know that I tried this time
Just the same as I tried before
And I know she can't pull those strings anymore
She can't touch me. I've turned my back
I've turned my back
I got home kinda late tonight
And I halfway expected to see you again
You just weren't here
And I cared and it cut me deep
For a moment I cried then I lay down and put me to sleep
And I know that I tried this time
Just the same as I tried before
And I know she can't pull those strings anymore
She can't touch me. I've turned my back
I've turned my back
