There's a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was
And there's ash in the pages
Now I've got myself lost
I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye
Now she's gone
And I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
Now she's gone
And I'm out with a friend
(Out with a friend)
With lips full of pa**ion
and coffee in bed
With the way that you left me
I can hardly contain
(Hardly contain)
The hurt and the anger
And the joy of the pain
(Joy of the pain)
Now knowing I am single
There'll be fire in my eyes
(Fire in my eyes)
And a stain on my notebook
For a new love tonight
(New love tonight)
Now she's gone
And I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
Now she's gone
And I'm out with a friend
(Out with a friend)
With lips full of pa**ion
And coffee in bed
Now she's gone
(Now she's gone)
And I'm out with a friend
(Out with a friend)
With lips full of pa**ion
And coffee in bed
From lips without pa**ion
To the lips with a kiss
There's nothing of your love
That I'll ever miss
The stain on my notebook
Remains all that's left
Of the memory of late nights
And coffee in bed
Of the memory of late nights
And coffee in bed
Now she's gone
And I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
Now she's gone
And I'm out with a friend
With lips full of pa**ion
And coffee in bed
