about

You broke up twice before, is there really any more?

lyrics

The first time it’s a dream
The second time, seduction
I feel like breaking free before it feels like function
But look at you, you don’t look any older, maybe it’s just the light
Here we go again, crying on the wrong shoulders
Never lose sight of the deal we made.

Hey, I never said that I’d be true
And you, you knew that you would never stay
After all these years what are we doing here?

Let’s put the past behind us
Keep the future clear
There’s nothing like a memory for bringing up the fear
But look at you, you don’t care about heartbreak, baby that’s not my style
Here I go again, coming on like a lightweight with a sucker-punch fixing to fly

Hey, I never said that I’d be true
And you, you knew that you would never stay
After all these years what are we doing here?

If it hadn’t have been for you I wouldn’t have discovered
What I needed to know about those other lovers
So why do I stay when there’ll be nothing to show
At the end of the day except a heart that broke

But look at you, giving in to desire, maybe I need to try
Here I go again, intellectualising when I should have just said goodbye
To the deal we made.

Hey, I never said that I’d be true
And you, you knew that you would never stay
After all these years what are we doing here?
