I call, you don't answer.
I run, you run faster,
That lie, that angry ghost is routine, tried, and true
That bastard visits me nightly
He's there to remind me.
Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together.
Should've known better, should've known better that.
My harshest of opinions,
Complaints, accusations,
Yeah I made lots of money selling water as wine.
You were there right behind me,
Saying that's all I could be.
Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together.
Should've known better, should've known better that.
I did not want to leave,
No it wasn't up to me
I did not want to leave
No it happened naturally.
Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together.
Should've known better, should've known better that.
