Don't try and make yourself hate him

He tried that one with you

He ended up just hating himself

And more in love with you

You'll have to learn

From all his mistakes

That the brain can lie

But your heart will never fake

He's been rushing around

Grabbing all he can find

As quickly as he could

'Cause he knew you would

When he saw that distant look

He had to say goodbye

'Cause he knew you could

People say that he's a bastard

That's an unfair use of words

When I don't know what was going on

No, I never really heard

Why don't you wake

Up to what he's got?

Do you have the time to find out

If he's lost control?

There's no point in hanging around

If happiness can't be found

You'd better go

He never stopped to ask you why

He never had to try

Now he'll never know

Why don't you wake up to what you want

And listen to his lies?

'Cause what you two have been going through

Has happened many times

I've never seen you taking any prisoners

But I've seen you weep

Yeah, I've seen you apologising

But that's not gonna work with me

I've heard you telling everybody

What you've done to him

But that doesn't add up to a story

And it's not gonna work with me

He's been rushing around

Grabbing all he can find

As quickly as he could

'Cause he knew you would

When he saw that distant look

He had to say goodbye

'Cause he knew you could

Why don't you wake up to what he's got

And stop filling him with lies?

'Cause what you two have been going through

Has happened many times

It's happened too many times
