Watching Them Come And Go

Well you've done it again
You know you shouldn't have
Your gut instinct is always right
But you followed your heart
And look where you are now

You know this place all too well
Don't you?
You don't like it very much
And every time you put yourself on the line
You end up back here

Why do you even bother anymore?
You just get hurt again
And end up here
You're so tired of here
Don't want to be here
Want to be over there
Where the grass is greener
You know it's not always necessarily greener
But it is right now

But you can't do this to yourself again
Can't put yourself on the line
Can't end up in this place
So you watch them come and go
Watch them come and go
Come and go

And when the couples break up
You sit still and don't move
What would be the point of trying?
You just get hurt
And arrive back here

You watch them come and go

And you stay here.
