Predictable

Something isn't right,
I can feel it again, feel it again.
This isn't the first time,
That you left me waiting.
Sad excuses and false hopes high,
I saw this coming, still I don't know why,
I let you in.

I knew it all along,
You're so predictable.
I knew something would go wrong... (Something's always wrong...)
So you don't have to call,
Or say anything at all.
You're so predictable... (So predictable...)

So take your empty words,
Your broken promises.
And all the time you stole,
Cause I am done with this.
I could give it away, give it away,
I'm doing everything I should've.
And now I'm making a change,
I'm living the day.
I'm giving back what you gave me.
I don't need anything.

I knew it all along,
You're so predictable.
I knew something would go wrong... (Something's always wrong...)
So you don't have to call,
Or say anything at all.
You're so predictable... (So predictable...)

Now everywhere I go,
Everyone I meet,
Every time I try to fall in love,
They all want to know why I'm so broken.
Why am I so cold?
Why I'm so hard inside.
Why am I scared?
What am I afraid of?
I don't even know, this story's never had an end.
I've been waiting,
I've been searching,
I've been hoping,
I've been dreaming you would come back,
But I know the ending of this story.
You're never coming back,
Never... Never... Never (echo)

I knew it all along,
You're so predictable.
I knew something would go wrong... (Something's always wrong...)
So you don't have to call,
Or say anything at all.
You're so predictable... (So predictable...)

Everywhere I go for the rest of my life,
Everyone I love, (So predictable)
Everyone I care about,
They're all gonna want to know what's wrong with me
And I know what it is...(So predictable)
I'm ending this right now


My family shows me again and again exactly how predictable they are, and still I buy into things that my mother says and my father promises, and the truth is always the same. If they say they can help me with something, especially if its my father, I can always count on one thing: Something will always change between the promises made and the actions taken, and something will change, and the promise will be less important, more of a "Tomorrow". Wasn't there a Shakespear line about "tomorrows"? I think there was, I can't remember it, but I remember the tone its said with, and the cadence of the words, and yeah, I feel like that line is said at the moment.
