Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can see you standing, honey

With his arms around your body

Laughing but the joke's not funny at all

And it took you five whole minutes

To pack us up and leave me with it

Holding all this love out here in the hall

[Chorus]

I think I've seen this film before

And I didn't like the ending

You're not my homeland anymore

So what am I defending now?

You were my town

Now I'm in exile seeing you out

I think I've seen this film before

[Verse 2]

I can see you staring, honey

Like he's just your understudy

Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me

Second, third, and hundredth chances

Balancing on breaking branches

Those eyes add insult to injury

[Chorus]

I think I've seen this film before

And I didn't like the ending

I'm not your problem anymore

So who am I offending now?

You were my crown

Now I'm in exile seeing you out

I think I've seen this film before

So I'm leaving out the side door

[Bridge]

So step right out

There is no amount

Of crying I can do for you

[Bridge]

All this time

We always walked a very thin line

You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)

You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

[Bridge]

All this time

I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)

I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)

'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

So many signs

So many signs (You didn't even see the signs)

[Chorus]

I think I've seen this film before

And I didn't like the ending

You're not my homeland anymore

So what am I defending now?

You were my town

Now I'm in exile seeing you out

I think I've seen this film before

So I'm leaving out the side door

[Bridge]

So step right out

There is no amount

Of crying I can do for you

[Bridge]

All this time

We always walked a very thin line

You didn't even hear me out (Didn't even hear me out)

You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

[Bridge]

All this time

I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)

I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)

'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)

[Bridge]

All this time (So many signs)

I never learned to read your mind (So many signs)

I couldn't turn things around (Couldn't turn things around)

'Cause you never gave a warning sign (Never gave a warning sign)
