If I have to take a crowbar to your mouth   To make what's on the inside come out   Ivory chips fall to the floor   Swept under the rug and out the door      What a night   Back and forth with no end in sight   I can't watch this again   You just don't understand      Why - do we always end right where we began   We - can break this cycle if you'd just understand      If I have to take a crowbar to your mouth   To make what's on the inside come out   Ivory chips fall to the floor   Swept under the rug and out the door      What a night   Back and forth with no end in sight   I can't watch this again   You just don't understand      Why - do we always end right where we began   We - can break this cycle if you'd just understand      Scream it to me and I swear I'll understand   I'd rather you scream your lungs out than sit on the end, of my bed, with your head, hanging over the edge, of this four cornered ship, on a figure-eight trip      Why - do we always end right where we began   We - can break this cycle if you'd just understand      I felt our swan song coming on   I wasn't ready to sing it   You curled, up to me, knee to knee, with your eyes Glazed over with pain   Hide behind your tears   Let's confront your fears      Why - do we always end right where we began   We - can break this cycle if you'd just understand (x2)
