In the winding down hours 
I let your heart down again 
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?) 
(I'm no better than the ones before me) 
Old habits die hard 
I always end up hating the end 
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?) 
(I'm no better than the ones before me) 

I'm in the middle of a breakdown 
Watching you scream 
In the middle of a breakdown 
Screaming at me 
And by the way 
By the way 
What made you think you'd have it your way? 
And by the way 
By the way 
Don't say I didn't warn you 
That I'll always stay the same 

Speechless and frozen  [bad word] silence again 
(What did I do to make a scene so gory?) 
(I'm no better than the ones before me) 
I'm in the middle of a breakdown 
Watching you scream 
In the middle of a breakdown 
Screaming at me 
And by the way 
By the way 
What made you think you'd have it your way? 
And by the way 
By the way 
Don't say I didn't warn you 
That I'll always stay the same 

Battered and [bad word] 
Broken confused 
It's time we both knew 
Can't stop what I started 
This time we both lose, lose 
And by the way 
By the way 
What made you think you'd have it your way 
And by the way 
By the way 
Don't say I didn't warn you 
That I'll always stay the same 
The same, the same, 
I'll always stay the same 
(battered and [bad word]  
The same, (broken confused), the same 
I didn't warn you that I'd always stay the same
