Sometimes you lose your head   Think of all the stupid things you've said   Pouring out of your mouth   Like rain through a broken windowpane   Nobody made you do it   There's a hoop and you jump through it   You made this mess all by yourself   What did you say?   I thought I said everything there was for me to say   How could you know?   I looked into her eyes, I thought they were telling me so   Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy   I took my chances, eyes wide open   Stayed too long and the spell was broken   Nobody wants to see   The mess you become so easily   Crawling around and singing your sad songs   Late into the night   Must be the words you're choosing   The unconvincing smile you're using   Try and try again, you can't get it right   What did you do?   I poured my heart out til my words filled the room   How did it go?   She smiled and took my hand, said it's all just a little too soon.   Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy   Save your tears, I never earned them   Lessons are there, but I never learn them at all   Every night the same old game   Fumbling around for some stranger's name   Or going out of your mind   Waiting for the phone to finally ring   I know life can be so messy   But you can't spend all your time confessing   Try saving something for yourself   What did you say?   I thought I said everything there was for me to say   How could you know?   I looked into her crying eyes, they were telling me so   Now I don't want to be your cause for sympathy   Save your breath, I never listen   You think I don't know something's missing   But now I'll wait and see   How it all turns out for me   It's not as painful as they tell you   Some success in every failure   Now I know I can handle the pain   I'll stand here waiting, hope it all happens again
