I fought it for a long time now
While drowning in a river of denial.
I washed up, fixed up, picked up
All my broken things.

'Cause you left me.
Police scene, chalk line
Tequila shots
In the dark scene of the crime.
Suburban living with a feeling
That I'm giving up
Everything for you.

Oh, oh, oh
How was I supposed to know
That you were oh, oh, over me?
I think that I should go.
Something's telling me to leave
But I won't.
'Cause I'm damned if I do ya.
Damned if I don't.

It took a lot to take you home.
One stupid call
And I end up alone.
You made up, dressed up, messed up
Plans. I set in stone.

And you may be too
But I don't like dancing in the alley
With a streetrat night life.
Can't keep living with a feeling
That I'm giving up
Everything for you.

Oh, oh, oh
How was I supposed to know
That you were oh, oh, over me?
I think that I should go.
Something's telling me to leave
But I won't.
'Cause I'm damned if I do ya.
Damned if I don't.

Make a fool of myself
When you hang around
When you're gone.
I'm a match that's burning out.
Could've been... Should've done...
What I said I was going to?
But I never promised you,
Promised you, promised you.

Oh, oh, oh
How was I supposed to know
That you were oh, oh, over me?
I think that I should go.
It never took a fool
To see the things that I won't.
'Cause I'm damned if I do ya.
Damned if I do ya.

Oh, oh, oh
('Cause you left me)
How was I supposed to know
(Police scene, chalk line)
That you were oh, oh, over me?
(Tequila shots in the dark scene of the crime)
I think that I should go.
Something's telling me to leave
But I won't.
'Cause I'm damned if I do ya.
Damned if I d...
Damned if I do ya.
Damned if I don't.
