Lyrics:

I should have known you’d bid me farewell
There’s a lesson to be learned from this, and I learned it very well
Now, I know you’re not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it’s all the same to me

And I think it’s gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over
Now the mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball

You never cared for secrets I confide
To you I’m just an ornament, somethin’ for your pride
Always runnin’ never carin’, that’s the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give

And I think it’s gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over
Now the mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball

The story’s in the past with nothin’ to recall
I’ve got my life to live, and I don’t need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that’s all I’m gonna spend

And I think it’s gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over
Now the mornin’ sun is shinin’ like a red rubber ball
