Exile
I can see you standing, honey/With his arms around your body/Laughin’, but the joke’s not funny at all/And it took you five whole minutes/To pack us up and leave me with it/Holdin’ all this love out here in the hall/I think I’ve seen this film before/And I didn’t like the ending…/…Now I’m in exile, seein’ you out/I think I’ve seen this film before/I can see you starin’, honey/Like he’s just your understudy/Like you’d get your knuckles bloody for me/Second, third, and hundredth chances/Balancin’ on breaking branches/Those eyes add insult to injury/I think I’ve seen this film before/And I didn’t like the ending/I’m not your problem anymore/So who am I offending now?/…I think I’ve seen this film before/So I’m leavin’ out the side door/So step right out, there is no amount/Of crying I can do for you/All this time/We always walked a very thin line/You didn’t even hear me out (you didn’t even hear me out)/You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)/All this time/I never learned to read your mind (never learned to read my mind)/I couldn’t turn things around (you never turned things around)/‘Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)/So many signs, so many signs/You didn’t even see the signs/I think I’ve seen this film before/And I didn’t like the ending/So step right out, there is no amount/Of crying I can do for you/All this time/We always walked a very thin line/You didn’t even hear me out (didn’t even hear me out)/You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)/All this time/I never learned to read your mind (never learned to read my mind)/I couldn’t turn things around (you never turned things around)/’Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)/All this time (so many signs)/I never learned to read your mind (so many signs)/I couldn’t turn things around (I couldn’t turn things around)/’Cause you never gave a warning sign (you never gave a warning sign)/You never gave a warning sign
