Is this how it ends laying in bed Talking to a cheap tape recorder instead of my friends In bed with a low grade fever they wanted to know how could I leave you I can't tell them that it might sound like revenge Some things don't need a payback some things are sure some things You can't feel safe about where do I start I was waiting for my head to clear up I thought I was smart I'd find the answers in time But the answers I find aren't what you want to hear they're not even close Some things don't need a payback some things are sure Some things you can' t feel safe about Some things don't need a clear up You got that? I remember good things like the van breaking down I sat on your lap in the auto repair and you touched my hair While the heavy drops rain on the pavement outside Don't take revenge just let it lie The easiest thing is if you just let it die Don't give me a chance You don't owe me that Don't follow me out I'll think your coming for some payback <♪> Some things don't need a payback some things are sure Some things you can't feel safe about Some things don't need a clear up You got that Why did I leave? How long did it take It could take forever Some things don't need a payback You got that, you got that
