A song about becoming single

Little when unwanted, short of meaning, short of goals
Short of anything you’re sure you can believe in
And whether for believing or for taking different roads
Oh you’re smiling all the while

And you’re pretty sure you know now that you’ll need some time alone
But you would give, oh, anything to hear him tell you
Be mine, we’ll make it, take we but the longest road
Oh you’re smiling all the while

You’re so caught up in your passions that you’re
Rolled up on the floor, crying why,
Oh why ain’t this some better world
But it’s all in a day
It’s not like this for years

You sleep like Sleeping Beauty who was left to sleep alone
Dreaming of her white horse and her hero
Whether for the dreaming or for being on your own
Oh you’re smiling all the while
