Exile

I can see you standing, honey
 With his arms around your body
 Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
 And it took you five whole minutes
 To pack us up and leave me with it
 Holdin' all this love out here in the hall
 I think I've seen this film before
 And I didn't like the ending
 You're not my homeland anymore
 So what am I defending now?
 You were my town
 Now I'm in exile, seein' you out
 I think I've seen this film before
 I can see you starin', honey
 Like he's just your understudy
 Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
 Second, third, and hundredth chances
 Balancin' on breaking branches
 Those eyes add insult to injury
 I think I've seen this film before
 And I didn't like the ending
 I'm not your problem anymore
 So who am I offending now?
 You were my crown
 Now I'm in exile, seein' you out
 I think I've seen this film before
 So I'm leavin' out the side door
 So step right out, there is no amount
 Of crying I can do for you
 All this time
 We always walked a very thin line
 You didn't even hear me out (you didn't even hear me out)
 You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
 All this time
 I never learned to read your mind (never learned to read my mind)
 I couldn't turn things around (you never turned things around)
 'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
 So many signs, so many signs
 You didn't even see the signs
 I think I've seen this film before
 And I didn't like the ending
 You're not my homeland anymore
 So what am I defending now?
 You were my town
 Now I'm in exile, seein' you out
 I think I've seen this film before
 So I'm leavin' out the side door
 So step right out, there is no amount
 Of crying I can do for you
 All this time
 We always walked a very thin line
 You didn't even hear me out (didn't even hear me out)
 You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
 All this time
 I never learned to read your mind (never learned to read my mind)
 I couldn't turn things around (you never turned things around)
 'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
 All this time (so many signs)
 I never learned to read your mind (so many signs)
 I couldn't turn things around (I couldn't turn things around)
 'Cause you never gave a warning sign (you never gave a warning sign)
 You never gave a warning sign
 Ah, ah
