Checkered Past

Every time I think That I can get away You pull me back In with something clever you say And I don't think You mean to hurt me but it does Promises that you never Keep a record of Cause I'm not falling For it this time around Like every time Before it's just lies and letdowns My eyes are open My heart is broken And your promises never last Or outlive your checkered past Always your partner Dancing 'round the truth You and I with an elephant in the room Lead me around And I will follow your missteps With my two right Feet beside your two lefts Cause I'm not falling For it this time around Like every time Before it's just lies and letdowns My eyes are open My heart is broken And your promises never last Or outlive your checkered past It's you, yourself And I that you've lost You've burned down Every bridge you've ever crossed In the wake of all That you put me through I won't rebuild this bridge That's between me and you My eyes are open My heart is broken And your promises never last Or outlive your checkered past
