History never repeats

I tell myself before I go to sleep

Don't say the words you might regret

I lost before, you know I can't forget

There was a girl I used to know

She dealt my love a savage blow

I was so young, too blind to see

But anyway, that's history

And I say, history never repeats

I tell myself before I go to sleep

And there's a light shining in the dark

Leading me on towards a change of heart

You say I always play the fool

I can't go on if that's the rule

Better to jump than hesitate

I need a change and I can't wait

I say, history never repeats

I tell myself before I go to sleep

And there's a light shining in the dark

Leading me on towards a change of heart

Never repeats, whoa, oh

History never repeats (x2)

Deep in the night it's all so clear

I lie awake with great ideas

Looking about in no man's land

I think at last I understand

History never repeats

I tell myself before I go to sleep

And there's a light shining in the dark

Leading me on towards a change of heart

Ahhh
