It's all right, it's all totally fine
It's not as if I wish you still were mine
It's not as if I want you back at all
That's now why I had to call.

The breakup was so diplomatic, after it all,
What a lovely change of pace!
There were some boxes, there was a moving truck,
Now I'm alone in my own place,
Alone with the memories
And the canceled plans,
And the empty spaces
Where something ought to be, like
A water color painted by a mutual friend
A tattered coat you will never mend
A couple of letters I will never send
Because I'm much too kind
A couple of records by The Doors
A Tom Baker scarf I left on your floor
A notebook full of so much more
Of the things that I left behind

It's all right, it's just totally fine
It isn't that I wish you still were mine
There's just something missing from my wall
And that's why I had to call

Some of my favorite neckties never made it out
But it's no problem! I've got so many.
Some of my books are still there in your shelves,
But not one of them cost me a penny.
But, you know I hate it when
Good books just become a decoration.
Will you please try to read them once in a while?
A water color painted by a long lost friend
A vintage shirt you will never mend
A few dozen letters I will never send
Because I'm much too kind
A couple of records by The Shins
My great grandfather's rolling pin
A notebook listing all of my sins and
All of the things I left behind

It's all right, it's just totally fine
It isn't that I wish you still were mine
There's just something missing from my wall
And that's why I had to call
It's all right, it's just totally fine
It isn't that I wish you still were mine-
I don't need anything from you,
I don't need anything at all,
I don't need anything I can't replace
