I say, "you're no good"
   while trying to believe it's true.
Then you call me again
   right out of the blue
You say that you love me 
   and you miss me so much
But I've got to be careful
   that my heart you don't touch
I try so hard
   not to let you back in
But when you talk
   it starts over again

I think it's possible 
   that we'll work things out
You assure me we will
   without any doubt
So I took you back
   hoping for the best
But I should have known,
   you were just like the rest
I thought you had changed
   I guess I was wrong
I should have known 
   it wouldn't last long

You treat me the same 
   as you always did
You tell me what to do
   just like a little kid
I won't run your life
   but you can't run mine
Why did I think
   it would be different this time?
I set myself up
   for this lie once more
I tried to ignore 
   what I knew was in store

But what's done is done
   - can't change things now
All that's left
   is to forget it somehow
As hard as it is
   to let you go
I know you'll be back,
   this I know
You always return
   as sure as the stars in the sky
This cycle will continue 
   until the day that I die
