I've heard this story told before
A hundred times, or maybe more
And its not ever gonna change

You've gone and torn yourself in two
Enough for everyone, but you
Now you're just getting in the way

You were a hard act to follow
But now you're making your lines up as you go
You put it off for tomorrow
When you close your eyes
To get back to what you're used to

Now all the time that we share
And every long distance stare
Its hard to find a reason
To put this back together
And every day that goes by
And every flag that you fly
Its hard to find a reason
To put this back together again

Oh darling, here we go again
Your world is coming to an end
Sit back and watch the sky fall down

You've only given second best,
Second hand, and second guessed
And you're pushing everyone around

Remember the days
You put your heart on your sleeve
And it all worked out

But you sat on your hands
Expecting every demand
And you learned what crying's about
