| 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, it’s he same old game | 
| Fumbling around for some stranger’s name | 
| Or going out of your mind | 
| Just 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 |
