Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All right, you're right
Let's talk it over
Talk it over
I'm wrong, you're gone
So, you're serious
Really serious
[Verse 2]
You're sane I'm insane
Oh, that's craziness
Craziness
I'm tryin' to find
It's real meaning
Insanity
[Verse 3]
When I get home again
Everything we said
It seemed to hold us back again, again
When I get home then
We'll try to make it better
In the same damn way again, again
[Verse 4]
So long, you're gone
You're really leavin', leavin'
There's no prize for goodbyes
No joy either, either
[Verse 5]
You're sane I'm insane
Oh, that's craziness
Craziness
I'm tryin' to find
It's real meaning
Insanity
[Verse 6]
When I get home again
Everything we said
It seemed to hold us back again, again
When I get home then
Try to make it better
In the same damn way again, again
[Verse 7]
Enough
I've had enough
Oh, enough
I've had enough
[Verse 8]
Enough
I've had enough
Oh, enough
I've had enough
I can't take
We can't make
I can't stand it
Oh, I've had it
Ooh, I'm leavin'
