This time is different I swear
Never been more prepared to walk the line
Slowly creep into frame
Cite the littlest change
You say "don't worry, baby, it's all part of the game"
That look, I've seen it before
You want nothing more than to even the score
It takes more than once
To build up mistrust
You say "just take it easy, there's no reason to fuss"
I'm out on a limb
Don't know where to begin
Do nothing and I'm always guilty as sin
Climbing out of the hole
Is taking its toll
Do nothing and you're always treating me cold
I fall flat in all my attempts
Can't shake your contempt for what I can't control
I listen and learn
Never to be discerned
I say "if that's what you wanted, won't you let it be heard?"
Each time I detect your remorse
It runs its course before I get reprieve
What is this charade?
All I do is placate
I say "come on, darling, there's got to be a better way"
No option of flight
Resolve out of sight
Do nothing and you always come out all right
Tired of walking on shells
You've some power to compel
Do nothing and there's always some fire to quell
