Clockwork

Repeating the same mistake over and over again.

This isn't the first time this happened and

We both know that it won't be the last either,

Every time you put your heart into someone and

It  gets broken you're always at my door,

You always expect me to pick you off the ground

Just like all of those other times before,

Just like clockwork

You know that I never wanted us to just be friends and

Yet you still come to me like we never said goodbye,

I allow myself to believe that this time is difference because

I can't allow myself to let you go,

We both know that you expect me to always be there

Even though we both know what it does to me,

Just like clockwork

I keep on telling myself that this is going to be

The last time and that that I'm going to stop allowing

You to treat me like this but it never happens,

You always get inside my head and you always get me

To be there for you even though that's the last thing

That I want to do,

Just like clockwork
