![]() I thought we were done, last time I looked we were through Every time I feel myself starting to heal You draw me back in, into another ordeal I'm keeping my promise to leave you alone I'm turning it off, Fuck!, I'm turning to stone You're accumulating frequent flyer miles on my heart So much for letting you go to make a healthy new start Why couldn't you just leave that sleeping dog alone? Why, after all this time do you still throw that bone? Why must you always wake this savage beast inside? Why is it so hard for you to let a sleeping dog lie? You weren't the first, no, you won't be the last And I know I got a lot of shit to get past Either building it up or cutting it down to size Got me shaking all over, fever's starting to rise In a world full of wrongs, did I do anything right? Slapped by your memory every day, every night Not a lesson to be learned, no words to the wise How can they say silence is the hardest good-bye Why couldn't you just leave that sleeping dog alone? Why, after all this time do you still throw that bone? Why must you always wake this savage beast inside? Why is it so hard for you to let a sleeping dog lie? We were supposed to be the future Seems I forgot about the here and now The fallout now seems endless Something about a broken vow And as we walk the road well traveled Our steps are so much out of sync The fallout now seems pointless As we hover on the brink Why couldn't you just leave that sleeping dog alone? Why, after all this time do you still throw that bone? Why must you always wake this savage beast inside? Why is it so hard for you to let a sleeping dog lie? ![]() |
