Why protect myself to give it all back?

How am I back to square one with you?

Oh, I've lost myself
             Am
In a vicious hell

Of thinking you'll change

When I know that you never do

And I believe it, oh, I believe it
F                                  Am

I believe 'em, oh, I believe 'em

That she looks just like me
