[Verse 1]
A car broke down in an empty lane
I called your number but you never came
Just a man in a broken van today and every day
My mother went out and cut her hair
Shed some skin on the cross she bears
Was a change of scenery, change she needed

[Chorus]
A simple haircut to symbolise her love for him as it hits the floor
It's a new day to wake up and know that he's not suffering anymore

[Verse 2]
The pain grows bigger when I need you most
The feeling deep within that I'm still holding close
I feel ya, I feel ya
Twelve months are gone but she cries the same
Oh everything is open but we're closed today
She needs ya, we still need ya

[Chorus]
A simple haircut to symbolise her love for him as it hits the floor
It's a new day to wake up and know that he's not suffering anymore

[Bridge]
I won't stop believing there's a place that I've been dreaming of
Where we can find each other in due time
I won't stop my lovin', my heart's torn but not forgotten and
I will find you there and we'll combine
But while you're waiting I'll get by
But while you're waiting I'll get by
But while you're waiting I'll get by, oh no
But while you're waiting I'll get by
But while you're waiting I'll get by
But while you're waiting I'll get by
But while you're waiting well I'll get by
