Talk about taking a good thing too far
You take a good heart and play it too hard
An occupation when it isn't a game
There's just compulsion running hot through your veins

But you like it like that
And you want it like that
Because you've told me before
But I'm not a fool

I've had enough of the pain
You've taken none of the blame
You've got my headstone made
I think I loose again
It's no surprise
The poison in your eyes
Why don't I ever learn
Why don't I ever realise

The confrontation's a tool that you use
How much affection can you afford to lose
You're using cruelty like a personal invention
These open arms it's like increasing intention.

And I've tried to fight back
But you bring it right back
And now there's nothing to face
Because you've been replaced.

I've had enough of the pain
You've taken none of the blame
You've got my headstone made
I think I loose again
It's no surprise
The poison in your eyes
Why don't I ever learn
Why don't I ever realise
