Oh how I'd like to take you back
To the stories of my childhood, but I don't know you like that
Here now, in the shadows of my past

I wish I could say that I've moved on, but I just don't think I have
There's something about me, that I don't trust
And there's something about that, that's dangerous
Put me alone in a room
For a couple of months
It's the reason that I stay and it's the reason that I run

I'm no exception, to the rules
I'm doing all the things I told you not to do
I'm no exception, and I'm a fool
I'm doing all the things I said I'd never do

I slept, under skies so pure and blue
Tried to act like I was innocent, but we both know that's not true
You wept, for your heartaches old and new
When I finally showed up for ya
There was nothing I could do
There's something about me, that I don't trust
And there's something about that, that's dangerous
Put me alone in a room
For a couple of months
It's the reason that I stay and it's the reason that I run

I'm no exception, to the rules
I'm doing all the things I told you not to do
I'm no exception, and I'm a fool
I'm doing all the things I said I'd never do
