Tried To Tell Her

She wallows in her misery 
What made her think that this would be 
That this would be any different 
From the first mistake she made 
Still she dove without a care 
For the second time around she'll pay 

And wallow in her misery 
The first to fail the last to flee 
She thought she'd figured out the answer 
To some long forgotten page 
From some long forgotten book 
On how to get her own way 

I've tried and tried to tell her 
It's not what you do 
It's what you've done 
With what you did 
I've tried to tell her 

She wallows in her misery 
A failure at failure she fails to see 
That this overacted part 
From this never-ending play 
Is just her substitute 
For reality anyway 

I've tried and tried to tell her 
It's not what you do 
It's what you've done 
With what you did 
I've tried to tell her
