Sometimes you lose your head

Think of all the stupid things you've said

Pouring out of your mouth

Like rain through a broken windowpane

Nobody made you do it

There's a hoop and you jump through it

You made this mess all by yourself

What did you say?

I thought I said everything there was for me to
say

How could you know?

I looked into her eyes, I thought they were
telling me so

Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy

I took my chances, eyes wide open

Stayed too long and the spell was broken

Nobody wants to see

The mess you become so easily

Crawling around and singing your sad songs

Late into the night

Must be the words you're choosing

The unconvincing smile you're using

Try and try again, you can't get it right

What did you do?

I poured my heart out til my words filled the
room

How did it go?

She smiled and took my hand, said it's all just a
little too soon.

Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy

Save your tears, I never earned them

Lessons are there, but I never learn them at all

Every night the same old game

Fumbling around for some stranger's name

Or going out of your mind

Waiting for the phone to finally ring

I know life can be so messy

But you can't spend all your time confessing

Try saving something for yourself

What did you say?

I thought I said everything there was for me to
say

How could you know?

I looked into her crying eyes, they were telling
me so

Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy

Save your breath, I never listen

You think I don't know something's missing

But now I'll wait and see

How it all turns out for me

It's not as painful as they tell you

Some success in every failure

Now I know I can handle the pain

I'll stand here waiting, hope it all happens
again
