the 5 stages of heartbreak Lyrics by Mahalia
Five stages of this heartbreak to go
Oh, that man really left, he ain’t never coming home
Denial
Surely we’re not over, he just needs time
With a little bit of space I think we’ll be fine
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, I believe that’s true
He won’t leave me high and dry, that’s not what he wants to do
Four stages of this heartbreak to go
Oh, that man really left, he ain’t never coming home
And that’s not cool with me, yeah, yeah
Anger
I hate him, I hate him, I hate him
I even hate myself a little bit, uh
‘Cause I got complacent
Let myself get caught in the middle of it
What did I do? What did I really do?
Said that he just [?]
That’s a fucking excuse, ah-ah
Three stages of this heartbreak to go
Oh, that man really left, he ain’t never coming home
Hm, don’t make a fool of me
Bargaining
I take it back, I take it back, oh, please, please
Please, please take me back, oh
I promise I’ll never complain, never gon’ take you for granted
I will not do that again, oh, please, please don’t leave
Two stages of this heartbreak to go
Oh, that man really left, never coming home
Don’t be through with me, oh
Depression
Huh
Da-da-da-da
One more stage of this heartbreak to go
That man really left and he’s never coming home
Don’t be cruel to me
Acceptance
Uh, it is what it is, get up, sis
Pretty bitch
Thank God you the giver, no kids
Thank God you didn’t share your riches
Hold your love and kisses, next man to touch those lips
Better come with a contract so that you can reap those benefits
I’m in his brand new place on my own
That man really left, he’s never coming home, yeah, huh
And that’s cool with me, yeah, uh
That’s so cool with me, yeah
