When
Andy Carpenter Lyrics

Your heart is broken
Your emotions are shattered

Your world is a bitter place
Your environment is full of sorrow

Your confidence shaken
You lack self-assurance

Your faith erased
Your beliefs are destroyed

What you depend on
Your reliance

Is up in the air
Is uncertain

You want to move forward
You desire to advance

With no forward there
But there is no apparent path ahead

Your husband left you
Your spouse abandoned you

No good reason why
Without a valid explanation

He wants a new life
He desires a different existence

You want to die
You desire to end your life

He wants to be your friend
He desires a platonic relationship with you

But you can't be his
But you cannot mutually have the same bond

Tell him to go to hell
You instruct him to leave and never return

You already did
You already did this

The problem's not hatred
Hatred is not the issue

There's no hate from him
He does not harbor any hatred

The facts of indifference are cruel
The truth of disregard is pitiless

With its pleasant skin and its brutal grin
It can be alluring yet menacing

How the world learns your name
The way the world knows you

And it spins away
As it disappears into the distance

It's a question of damage
It's about harm that has been caused

And wasted years
And the years that were lost

But love's never wasted
But the love shared is never pointless

Though it led you here
Even though it brought you to this moment

It might be the worst place that you've ever been
This might be the most wretched situation you have faced

Still you light up a room
But even so, you radiate happiness

When you walk in
When you enter
