In retrospect, he didn't mean that much to you
And now you're through
In retrospect, you both said things you wouldn't do
Not only you

In retrospect, you could have said what bothered you
But it's too late
In retrospect, there wasn't really much to say
You didn't like him anyway

But now you feel so blue
When all your friends keep asking you
You watch as they leave in pairs
You ask your cup, why should we care
Out in the clear night sky, a cigarette a heavy sigh
Smoke says I wonder why? In retrospect, I don't feel right

In retrospect, he would have wanted you the best
Despite it didn't last
In retrospect, a stray cat always wants a bed
Why should you care?
