how do I make her calm down
I say its over
I try to show her
how do I make her sit down
(while I) tell her my story I
say that I’m sorry
how do I make her come ‘round
how do I get her to see that its all in her mind
this time...
I'm caught, again
this time, a friend
I told you it would end
a month has passed, since then
I'm caught, again
is this the end
I told her once again
this time I’ll change
how do I make her calm down…
that’s it, no more
this time for sure
I know you’ve heard it all before
from now on, I’m yours
even if it feels like nothing’s like it was before
I’m there for sure
even if it feels like I really need to walk away
in the end it’s easier to stay
how do I make her calm down…
