Coping Video (MV)

What's done is done
It's all over
One love undone
But I'm free moreover

The end has come
It's not a pretty one
But a butterfly cannot grace the skies
Unless its larvae feels pain to cry

I see now the flags were rosy and red
And I don't want to lag in a love lost and dead
My self-respect is strengthening while my love for life is lengthening
And baby I wish you well
There's nothing more that I want to tell except

I won't swim around the rocks no more
And I won't wait for the waves to come
And build and crash and drown my head on the shore
I'm out, I'm out
Maybe a little down too
But I'll spend this autumn alone
Try and make sense of living on my own
And I'll be coping in my own way

One moment it's comfort
The next it's despair
Lonely nights make me wish to go
Waltzing back there

To you, where you are
Where you lie in shambles with your broken heart
I can't reach out to you
Please understand it's hard for me to

I know now the choice I made was offhand
And it seems somehow I'm sailing to better lands
My self-esteem is toughening while my shame and woe are roughening
They're sanding into something new
I know we were wrong and I know you do too

And so I won't swim around the rocks no more
And I won't wait for the waves to come
And build and crash and drown my head on the shore
I'm out, I'm out
Maybe a little down too
But I'll spend this autumn alone
Try and make sense of living on my own
And I'll be coping in my own way

So I won't swim around the rocks no more
And I won't wait for the waves to come
And build and crash and drown my head on the shore
I'm out, I'm out
Maybe a little down too
But I'll spend this autumn alone
Try and make sense of living on my own
And I'll be coping in my own way
