Verse 1

You walked out easy like the morning rain

Left me standing with a handful of pain

Thought I’d fall apart when you said goodbye

But look at me now, honey, I’m doing just fine

The mirror tells me I’m looking mighty fine

My smile’s returning, and the sparkle’s back in my eyes

I’ve been dancing in the kitchen to an old love song

Learning how to live again now that you’re gone

Chorus

So eat your heart out, baby, take a good long look

At the woman you left behind who found a brand new book

I’m laughing louder, loving deeper, shining like the sun

Eat your heart out, darlin’ — I’ve only just begun

Verse 2

You said I’d never make it without your hand

That I’d be crying in some lonely band

But the nights got shorter and the days feel light

I sleep like a baby since I stopped waiting up at night

My friends all tell me I’m glowing like a queen

Wearing red lipstick like I’ve never seen

The phone don’t ring with your sorry excuses no more

And I don’t miss it, baby, not even a little bit

Chorus

So eat your heart out, baby, take a good long look

At the woman you left behind who found a brand new book

I’m laughing louder, loving deeper, shining like the sun

Eat your heart out, darlin’ — I’ve only just begun

Bridge

You can keep your memories and your alibis

I’ve traded all your heartbreak for clear blue skies

Go on and wonder what you let slip through your hands

While I’m out here living like a woman who understands

Final Chorus (softer, then swelling)

Eat your heart out, baby… yeah, take a real good look

I’m stronger, wiser, and I’m done with your book

If you see me shining underneath that moon

Just remember, sugar… you sang the wrong tune

Eat your heart out…

Mmm, eat your heart out…
