If I talk will you listen, and pay some attention
If it's the last time you spend?
What good is sound advice
When the sounds of your vices are the only thing that you comprehend?
I see the tears in your eyes, I've gotta pull you aside
(Don't make a scene, they'll hear us arguing)
[Chorus]
This happened once before
(I swear I didn't know)
You wound up at his door
(I had nowhere to go)
You still go back for more
(I hate to be alone)
Got to know that, got to know that
This time would be the same
(You just don't understand)
Quit trying to explain
(We see things different)
Some people never change
(Just stay out of it)
Got to know that, got to know that guy
For your lines
And you'd think you'd have your fill by now
But instead, you stay fed
Too afraid to bite the hand that feeds you
Your pain and your guilt
Cornered in his room while his anger builds
No one deserves what happens next
(What happens next, oh)
God promised the world
Why on earth would you settle for less?
Settle for less?
[Chorus]
This happened once before
(I swear I didn't know)
You wound up at his door
(I have nowhere to go)
You still go back for more
(I hate to be alone)
Got to know that, got to know that
This time would be the same
(You just don't understand)
Quit trying to explain
(We see things different)
Some people never change
(Just stay out of it)
Got to know that, got to know this time
This time
This time
This time
I didn't know that
I didn't know that
I didn't know that
I didn't know that
I didn't know that
I didn't know that
I didn't know that
Got to know that
This time would be the same
(You just don't understand)
Quit trying to explain
(We see things different)
Some people never change
(Just stay out of it)
Got to know that, got to know this time
This time
This time
This time
