So I try and make it work, but then it's just worse Then it just hurts, works like a curse, Should have listened to the sirens in my head, when they went off, Cause you went off, with the lines crossed, now the line crossed...through my name, Hits me like a sucker punch to my heart...
[BRIDGE] When I said, When I said, When I said something I shouldn't have said (uh oh)
[CHORUS] You don't like the way it sounds, So how bout I say nothing at all? You don't like the way it sounds, So how bout I say nothing at all? Nothing at all, nothing at all.
[VERSE] So then it all comes back, how I didn't do it like I said I'd do it It was the wrong place, at the wrong time, I wore the wrong thing And I didn't spin it quite right, now it's on its side, I'm falling from the tight rope, in my mind. And I'm headed for the floor without a crash mat, But, I swore I wouldn't do that. So now I'm that cat, and a black cat has well and truly Crossed my path. Now isn't that sad? Now isn't that sad?
[BRIDGE] When I said, When I said, When I said something I shouldn't have said (uh oh)
CHORUS
[MIDDLE 8] So I play the joker like the clown-did Try to fly but I'm grounded No escape plan I am surrounded So I howled like the hound-did But you didn't like the way that it sounded So I came back and rebounded While you lost your mind and I found it When I said something I shouldn't have said uh oh...
[CHORUS/OUTRO] You don't like the way it sounds, So how bout I say nothing at all? You don't like the way it sounds, So how bout I say nothing at all? Nothing at all, nothing at all.
I'm taking leave from this war, I'm taking leave from this war, I'm taking leave from this war, Don't wanna see your face no more. Don't wanna see your face no more. So I'm leaving through the back door. I'm leaving through the back door. I'm taking leave from this war, I'm taking Leave (Oh oh,) Oh oh. Oh oh...
