I know you well enough to tell you've got your reasons That's not the kind of code you're inclined to break Some things unknown are best left alone foreverAnd if a vow is what it takes Haven't you paid for your mistakesAfter the moment pa**es And the impulse disappearsYou can still hold back Because you don't crack very easilyIt's a time-honored resolution Because the danger is always nearIt's with you now But that ain't how it was supposed to be And it's hard to believe after all these years It still gives you pain and it still brings tearsAnd you feel like a fool 'Cause in spite of the rulesYou've got a memoryChorus
