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 morning sun is shining Like a red rubber ball You never care For secrets I confide For you I'm just an ornament Something for your pride Always running, never caring 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 morning sun is shining Like a red rubber ball The story's in the past With nothing to recall I've got my life to live And I don't need you at all The rollercoaster 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 shining Like a red rubber ball Oh, I think it's gonna be alright Yeah, the worst is over now The mornin' sun is shining Like a red rubber ball
