Before You Do It Again

from Amateur Dramatics (EP) by The Photocopies

lyrics

Waking up in the morning
After everything went down
Another night of anger and bawling
Yeah, we really went to town
And I don't know why this always happens
It just keeps coming around
Will I never learn my lesson at all?

'Cause you broke my heart again
Soon there'll be nothing left to mend
Well, you can call it a misunderstanding
If that's what you want to pretend
Still you broke my heart again
Don't tell me that was just a friend
If it doesn't matter if I see it all
Don't even pretend
It's got to be the end
Before you do it again
Oh

One step forward and falling
You try to keep me in the dark
Now it's two steps back and you're stalling
Because you don't know where to start
Do you think I was born yesterday?
Your story I'm tearing apart
I can't do this anymore

Since you broke my heart again
Soon there'll be nothing left to mend
Well, you can call it a misunderstanding
If that's what you want to pretend
Still you broke my heart again
Don't tell me that was just a friend
If it doesn't matter if I see it all
Don't even pretend
It's got to be the end
Before you do it again
Oh

Oh, you tell me you can change
You can be more faithful
But I don't really think so
It's gonna be the same
Yeah, you're only bluffing
It's got to be all or nothing
So it's all over now

'Cause you broke my heart again
There's so little left to mend
Well, you can call it a misunderstanding
If that's what you want to pretend
Still you broke my heart again
Don't tell me that was just a friend
If it doesn't matter if I see it all
Don't even pretend
It's got to be the end
It's got to be the end
Before you do it again
Oh
I know you'd only do it again
And again
