I'm on your side

always see through your eyes

but if i leave tonight

i'll leave here in two minds



with the lights out

i'm so awake and somehow

i can't convince myself

just up and walk out



so, so, i've been wondering why...



why would you play these games

if i don't have the choice anyway?

i've been through 

black and blue

still you act like it's old

but it's new



a brief advantage

but wound up empty-handed

and the note i left reads

nothing like i planned it



and its been this way

for so long

i can't just lead us both

knowingly back there



so, so, i've been wondering why...



why would you play these games

if i don't have the choice anyway?

i've been through 

black and blue

still you act like it's old

but it's new



i'll take my chances alone

i'll take my chances alone

(yeah)

i'll take my chances alone

i'll take my chances alone



i'm on your side

always was on your side

(yeah, yeah)



why would you play these games

if i don't have the choice anyway?

i've been through 

black and blue

still you act like it's old

but it's new



you act like it's old

but it's new



(i'll take my chances alone)
