I told her I wouldn't miss her at all As she walked through the door I couldn't care less If she didn't care anymore And with tears in my eyes, I lied I was glad we were through As she drove away crying At the famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart And I don't love you Famous last words of a fool The first night without her would be easy I kept tellin' myself Although I'm dyin' at the thought of her lyin' Somewhere else There'll be nothin' to it I'll easily find someone new As my breaking heart echoes The famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart And I don't love you Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart And I don't love you Famous last words of a fool
