History Never Repeats

"History never repeats"

I tell myself before I go to sleep

Don't say the words you might regret

I lost before, you know I can't forget

There was a girl I used to know

She dealt my love a savage blow

I was so young, too blind to see

But anyway, that's history

I say, "history never repeats"

I tell myself before I go to sleep

Don't say the words you might regret

I lost before, you know I can't forget

You say I always play the fool

I can't go on if that's the rule

Better to jump than hesitate

I need a change and I can't wait

"History never repeats"

I tell myself before I go to sleep

And there's a light shining in the dark

Leading me on towards a change of heart, ah

History never repeats

History never repeats

Deep in the night, it's all so clear

I lie awake with great ideas

Lurking about in no-man's land

I think at last I understand

"History never repeats"

I tell myself before I go to sleep

And there's a light shining in the dark

Leading me on towards a change of heart, ah

Never repeats

Never repeats

Never repeats

Hey, hey

Hey
