Walking on eggshells,
You've been tiptoeing around,
Making excuses,
Every time he puts you down,

So I force another smile,
And tell you some sweet little lie,
Cause the truth is harder to hear.

Don't take a rocket scientist
To know you can't go on like this,
So get your boots on,
You've got to move on.
Don't take a genius to know,
That you'd be better off alone,
So get your coat, don't leave a number,
You've been poison to each other too long,
Get your boots on.

It's not the first time,
You've got into this mess,
Yeah he's a nice guy,
But then so were all the rest.

And I hate to see the sparkle in your eyes begin to fade,
While you wait for something to change.

Don't take a rocket scientist
To know you can't go on like this,
So get your boots on,
You've got to move on.
Don't take a genius to know,
That you'd be better off alone,
So get your coat, don't leave a number,
You've been poison to each other too long,

Cause it ain't it over,
Until it's over
And it's been over for a long, long time.

So don't explain, apologize,
Don't say you'll sleep on it tonight,
Cause you'll just change your mind.

Don't take a rocket scientist
To know you can't go on like this,
So get your boots on,
You've got to move on.
Don't take a genius to know,
That you'd be better off alone,
So get your coat, don't leave a number,
You've been poison to each other too long,

Don't take a rocket scientist
To know you can't go on like this,
So get your boots on,
You've got to move on.
Don't take a genius to know,
That you'd be better off alone,
So get your coat, don't leave a number,
You've been poison to each other for too long,
Get your boots on.
