I used to be so quick, so clever   And I used to know myself much better   Cause anyone can see that this is only permanent   Temporary, it never hurts to try      And it's all a game   I know we'll stay the same   But repetition ends in failure   And every time I see it in your eyes   When repetition ends, we'll start over      Now I'm a walking contradiction   So tell me what's wrong with this picture?   Cause anyone can see that this is only permanent   Temporary, so don't hurt me this time      And it's all a game   I know we'll stay the same   But repetition ends in failure   And every time I see it in your eyes   When repetition ends, we'll start over      So give it up, just give up   Give it up, give up   Give it up, just give up   Give it up, give up      And it's all a game   I know we'll stay the same   But repetition ends in failure   And every time I see it in your eyes   When repetition ends, we'll start over   We'll start over
