I'll explain this to you slowly
Take down every word I say
None of this is easy
But I don't get treated that way
Forget you ever knew me
Every curve, every mark on my face
Every memory that I must have gave you
Just throw them all away
Don't call me when you're crying I won't pick up the phone
Don't call me when it hurts so bad and you're all alone
I'm not around no more
You don't believe in that something
In the conscience that lives in your brain
In the voices that love you
Now here they are driving you insane
This isn't some rehearsal
When you can come back and try it again
You should've known the first time around
Oh, I was hanging on by a thread
Now this love I'm leaving for dead
(Mmm, mmm, ohhh)
Turn back the time
I know you wish you could
Collect the pieces of my hair
That are still on the floor where I stood
Forgive me that I'm cold now
But you really showed me how
To fend for myself now
I've mastered it all too well
So don't call me when you're drowning cause you can't swim to shore
Don't call me when you're with some girl you'll never adore
This show can't go on
Cause you don't believe in that something
In the conscience that lives in your brain
In the voices that love you
Now here they are driving you insane
This isn't some rehearsal
Where you can come back and try it again
You should've known the first time around
Oh, I was hanging on by a thread
Now this love I'm leaving for dead
(Ohhh)
You can't come back and try this again
(No, Ohhh)
You should've known the first time around
Oh, I was hanging on by a thread
Now this love I'm leaving for dead
