You never heard me knocking on the door
I found you balled up on your bathroom floor
You told me everything in your defense
And never understood the consequence
I won't console, when you have control
Every time's the last time, but I know you'll go and do it again.
Yeah, you'll do it again

There was a halo resting above your head then it slid down
Around your neck and I bet you thought I'd never find out 'cause
You think you're so clever

Again and again and again
You'll do it again and again and again

So, now we're all grown up and settled down
And you're the only one that's livin' in this ghost town
We try to keep in touch; at least pretend
I know we'll always be fair-weather friends, 'til the end

If there's a cause, it's already lost
'Cause I tried the last time and you tossed me aside again
But it won't happen again

    I completely agree with crazymango6,

    "You told me everything in your defense and never understood the consequence" Meaning, she tried to explain to him why she did what she did, refusing to believe what she did was so wrong, and she didn't understand why he was leaving her, or was mad at her, or was breaking up with her. "every time's the last time, but I know you'll go and do it again. yeah, you'll do it again." It's happened before, and he can't take it anymore, he's given her chance after chance, and he's given to her every time, but every time she goes and does the same thing. (Cheats.)
