History repeats
Always it repeats
One bad turn reveals another
One knife in my back,
Now it becomes two
Even five

History repeats
Always it repeats
Out on that cold Friday night
Watching the car drive away
Leaving me behind
To walk the midnight streets

History repeats
Always it repeats
Uncalled for anger rising
Blaming me for the problem
Nothing's wrong they say
As I stand strong and walk away

History repeats
Always it repeats
It's true this happened before
The wisdom to deal back then I had not
But now I can keep it all in check
And move on through your inflicted pain

So to those who threw it all away
To those who caused my temporary sorrow
I hope you feel pleased with your work
You broke the pledge of friendship
Though it happened and I should have expected this again
Though I should have realized that it was about time

That history repeats . . .
