Routine

(album: All You Need Is Time - 2022)

Now you see me, now you're sorry
Tie the ribbon on your story
Don't you know I've heard it all before
Looking through me while you're smiling
Oh, your gaze is so beguiling
Don't you know I've seen it before
Don't you know I've heard it before

Can you tell
That you're repeating yourself?
Has it become routine?
Morning coffee, then lie to me
I've fallen before for it
If I fall again, I'll be the fool for it
Used to it, lie to me honestly
How can I blame you if I've
Been the one to keep letting it slide?

How can I blame you if I've
Been the one to keep letting it slide?

I won't be so kind this time
I see the glass behind your eyes
And you can't play the hero anymore
Maybe I have played the clown
I'm just a joke you tossed around
But I'm not gonna play anymore
I'm not gonna play anymore

Can you tell
That you're repeating yourself?
Has it become routine?
Morning coffee, then lie to me
I've fallen before for it
If I fall again, I'll be the fool for it
Used to it, lie to me honestly

Can you tell
That you're repeating yourself?
Has it become routine?
Morning coffee, then lie to me
I've fallen before for it
If I fall again, I'll be the fool for it
Used to it, lie to me honestly
How can I blame you if I've
Been the one to keep letting it slide?

How can I blame you if I've
Been the one to keep letting it slide?
Been the one to keep letting it slide?
Been the one to keep letting it slide?
