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 too long
Get your boots on
