In the winding down hours 

I let your heart down again 

(What did I do to make a scene so gory?) 

(I'm no better than the ones before me) 

Old habits die hard 

I always end up hating the end 

(What did I do to make a scene so gory?) 

(I'm no better than the ones before me) 



I'm in the middle of a breakdown 

Watching you scream 

In the middle of a breakdown 

Screaming at me 

And by the way 

By the way 

What made you think you'd have it your way? 

And by the way 

By the way 

Don't say I didn't warn you 

That I'll always stay the same 



Speechless and frozen 

Uncomfortable silence again 

(What did I do to make a scene so gory?) 

(I'm no better than the ones before me) 

I'm in the middle of a breakdown 

Watching you scream 

In the middle of a breakdown 

Screaming at me 

And by the way 

By the way 

What made you think you'd have it your way? 

And by the way 

By the way 

Don't say I didn't warn you 

That I'll always stay the same 



Battered and bruised 

Broken confused 

It's time we both knew 

Can't stop what I started 

This time we both lose, lose 

And by the way 

By the way 

What made you think you'd have it your way 

And by the way 

By the way 

Don't say I didn't warn you 

That I'll always stay the same 

The same, the same, 

I'll always stay the same 

(battered and bruised) 

The same, (broken confused), the same 

I didn't warn you that I'd always stay the same
