I call, you dont answer
I run, you run faster
That lie, that angry ghost is routine, tried, and true
That bastard visits me nightly
Hes there to remind me

Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together
Shouldve known better, shouldve known better that

My harshest of opinions
Complaints, accusations
Yeah I made lots of money selling water as wine
You were there right behind me
Saying thats all I could be

Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together
Shouldve known better, shouldve known better that

I did not want to leave
No it wasnt up to me
I did not want to leave
No it happened naturally

Every time it gets to the middle of the night
I want to call and tell you that you were right
I wanted to believe that we could change together
Shouldve known better, shouldve known better that
