if i have to take a crowbar to your mouth to make what's on the inside come out ivory chips falls to the floor swept under the rug and out the door what a night, back and forth with no end in sight i can't watch this again you just don't understand [Chorus] why? do we always end right where we begin we can break this cycle if you just understand if i have to take a crowbar to your mouth to make what's on the inside come out ivory chips fall to the floor swept under the rug and out the door what a night, back and forth with no end in sight i can't watch this again you just don't understand [Chorus] scream it to me and i swear i'll understand i'd rather you scream your lungs out than sit on the edge of my bed with your head hanging over the edge of this four-cornered ship on a figure-eight trip [Chorus] i felt our swan song coming on, but i wasn't ready to sing it? you curled up to me, knee to knee with your eyes glazed over with pain hide behind your tears lets confront our fears why? you always end the progress we begin we can break this cycle if you just understand, understand, understand (understand)
