It Was Mutual

[Intro] [bright grand piano melody, walking bass, light drums] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals] We talked it through, we took our time She put my shirts outside at night I gave a nod, she closed the door Very mature, what could be more? She kept the couch, I kept my pride Her brother carried my things outside No scene, no tears, no big goodbye We both agreed, well, mostly I No hard feelings, no regrets She changed her number, I respect that [Chorus] [brass section enters, driving rhythm] It was mutual, completely mutual Nobody lost, nobody won We both knew it had to end It was mutual, perfectly mutual She changed the locks, I took the hint Eventually, but it was mutual [Verse 2] [piano-driven rhythm, staccato brass stabs] She told our friends we had to end I'd have told them too, eventually She blocked my calls, but that's alright We both needed space that night And every night since, apparently Healthy boundaries, fair enough I sent one message, maybe four Just checking in, that's all it was Nothing more [Bridge] [rhythmic breakdown, bass and drums only] I'm not bothered, not at all I don't even check if she'll call Well, sometimes just to be clear Not because I want her here [Chorus] [full band, high energy] It was mutual, completely mutual Nobody lost, nobody won We both knew it had to end It was mutual, perfectly mutual She said please don't come around A little blunt, but fair enough [Outro] [piano solo, walking bass] Still mutual I know what you're thinking and you're wrong I didn't drive past her place for long I wasn't waiting, there was traffic, that's all No, listen [music slows, piano chords] She was upset, I was upset People get upset That doesn't mean she left me She didn't leave me We both... we... she left me That's not the point [full band return, big finish] It was mutual, completely mutual Nobody lost, nobody won We both knew it had to end It was mutual, perfectly mutual And if she tells you otherwise She's emotional, understandable Maybe slightly unreliable But it was mutual, completely mutual Very mature, couldn't have gone better Mutual [final piano flourish, cymbal crash]
