Lyrics
Chorus:
Don't Say it, you know you can't take it back (4x)
Verse:
Every time we fight it's always the same
You say the things you don't mean
You say all this mean things
All those silly and mean things
You put 'em out there for me to reply to.
Last night it happened again
I could see in slow motion
Your scattered emotions
Your words were flying like arrows
That would never return to the place where they should have remained.
Bridge:
This deja vu makes me wonder why don't I just leave you, alone
It's been running around my head for days and days
What you said
Chorus
Verse 2:
It'll always be there, in between us
Keeping our hearts a little cool to the touch
And gnawing at the back of my mind
What she said
Remember what she said (4x)
Bridge 2:
When you walk out and slam that door
I know I don't want to be here no more
It's been running around my head for days and days, what you said
This deja vu makes me wonder why don't I just leave you, alone
And I long for the time back when we both were young
And we knew how to shut up and say goodnight.
And say goodnight (4x)
Chorus
