Don't try and make yourself hate him

He tried that one with you

He ended up just hating himself

And more in love with you



You'll have to learn from all his mistakes

The brain can lie but your heart will never fake



He's been rushing around

Grabbing all he can find as quickly as he could

'Cause he knew you would

When he saw that distant look, he had to say goodbye

'Cause he knew you could



People say that he's a bastard, that's an unfair use of words

When I don't know what was going on, no, I never really heard

Why don't you wake up to what he's got

Do you have the time to find out if he's lost control?



There's no point in hanging around

If happiness can't be found, you'd better go

He never stopped to ask you why

He never had to try, well he was wrong



Why don't you wake up to what you want and listen to his lines

'Cause what you two have been going through has happened many times



I've never seen you taking any prisoners, but I've seen you weep

Yeah, I've seen you apologising, but thats not gonna work with me.



I've heard you're telling everybody what you've done to him

But that doesn't add up to a sorry and it's not gonna work with me



He's been rushing around

Grabbing all he can find as quickly as he could

'Cause he knew you would

When he saw that distant look, he had to say goodbye

'Cause he knew you could



Why don't you wake up to what he's got and stop filling him with lies

'Cause what you two have been going through has happened many times

It's happened too many times
