To Say They Hit It Off Would Be an Understatement

If I talk will you listen
And pay some attention
If it's the last dime 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 gotta pull you aside

(Don't make a scene, they'll hear us arguing)

This happened once before ( I swear I didn't know )
You wound up at his door ( I had nowhere to go )
You'll still go back for more ( I hate to be alone )
You had to know that, you had 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 )
You had to know that, you had to know

That guy feeds you lines
And you 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
God promised the world
Why on earth would you settle for less?
settle for less

This happened once before ( I swear I didn't know )
You wound up at his door ( I had nowhere to go )
You'll still go back for more ( I hate to be alone )
You had to know that, you had 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)
You had to know that, you had to know this time
This time
This time
This time
( I didn't know that ) x8

You had 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 )
You had to know that
You had to know this time
