Lyrics
[Intro]
Soft keys and a gentle sax,
Let's take a stroll down memory lane,
Where love was sweet but soon turned to pain,
A tale of heartache, a cynical view,
About the last one--oh, there'll never be another you.
[Verse 1]
Oh, you had a smile that could light up the day,
But behind that charm, oh, what would you say?
You'd call me darling, then forget my name,
Playing your games, oh, love was a shame.
Took me to dinners, but you'd never pay,
When the check arrived, you'd just look away.
[Chorus]
There'll never be another you, no surprise,
A one-man circus with all those wild lies,
You danced to your rhythm, your heart's out of tune,
In the gallery of heartbreak, you were a cartoon.
[Verse 2]
Your cooking skills? Let's just say it's true,
Burnt toast, cold coffee--I'd sooner chew glue.
You thought you were slick, then you'd forget the date,
But who needs a calendar to know you're late?
Caught you texting "honey" from your best friend's phone,
Should've seen the warning signs all carved in stone.
[Chorus]
There'll never be another you, can't deny,
A master of excuses, telling sweet lies,
You wore your deceit like a tailored suit,
In this saga of love, you were the absolute brute.
[Bridge]
Now I'm sipping my wine, feeling so free,
Playing smooth jazz, just even my heart's at ease.
No more sleepless nights, no more crying too late,
With every sip, I'm ready to celebrate.
Got my friends around me, and we laugh 'til we cry,
Because, darling, your memory just passed me by.
[Verse 3]
So here's a toast to all your mistakes,
This waltz of disaster, this dance full of breaks.
For every heart broken and the lovers who knew,
Let's raise our glasses to this whole circus crew.
When you came to my life, it was a treacherous ride,
The love that you promised turned into a slide.
[Final Chorus]
There'll never be another you, that's the truth,
This love, once a diamond, now just a ruse.
I've found my rhythm in the beat of the night,
And it's clear to see where you lost your light.
There'll never be another, I promise you this,
With a heart so untrue, you've sealed your abyss.
[Outro]
So play that sax softly and let's move along,
In the world of sweet melodies, I'm finding my song.
For every heartbroken dream, there's a lesson or two,
And thank heavens above there'll never be another you.
