The party's over and the people are gone
A big ol' stack of dishes now to do
And he told you things no one should ever have to hear
Cleaning up this mess is up to you
You got those kids and they're gonna need you
To make a shelter from the shards of a broken home
The water runs and the time stands still
Gone is the life that you've known
Oh gal, hang on to yourself
Oh gal, hang on
Now's the time
I know you'll find
Some way to be on your own
There is a hole and there is a hunger
In the heart of a man who can't be true
I don't know why he has no faith in anything
Please don't let him take yours, too
Oh gal, hang on to yourself
Oh gal, hang on
Now's the time
I know you'll find
Some way to be on your own
Oh gal, hang on to yourself
Oh gal, hang on
Now's the time
I know you'll find
Some way to be on your own
Some way to be on your own
