You called me up just now on the phone
You said you felt alone, unhappy and tired, I guess
Always a mess, always a problem

Still, I'll put on my coat and I'll go
I shouldn't kid myself, I know, I'm not the first one you called, that's
Not your fault, I guess that's my problem

You have a knack now for misery
And I should know better
We have a thousand years worth of history
So I should know better

You almost always know what to say
You really have your way, the way that you play me
You do, the part of the fool, the part of the loser

Now there's a headlight there in the dark
You drive by I fall apart
You're holding that guys on his bike, is that
What you like, is that what you want now

You have a knack now for misery
And I should know better
We have a thousand years worth of history
So I should know better

It's so hard to let you go
So much harder than you know

You have a knack now for misery
We have a thousand years worth of history

You have a knack now for misery
And I should know better
We have a thousand years worth of history
So I should know better

I should know better
I should know better
I should know better

I should know better
I should know better
