history never repeats

history never repeats

i tell myself before i go to sleep

don't say the words you might regret

i lost before

you know i can't forget

there was a girl i used to know

she dealt my love a savage blow

i was so young

too blind to see

but anyway that's history

i say history never repeats

i tell myself before i go to sleep

don't say the words you might regret

i lost before

you know i can't forget

you say i always play the fool

i can't go on if that's the rule

better to jump than hesitate

i need a change and i can't wait

history never repeats

i tell myself before i go to sleep

and there's a light shining in the dark

leading me on towards a change of heart

ah

history never repeats

history never repeats

deep in the night it's all so clear

i lie awake with great ideas

lurking about in no-man's land

i think at last i understand

history never repeats

i tell myself before i go to sleep

and there's a light shining in the dark

leading me on towards a change of heart

ah

never repeats

never repeats

never repeats

hey hey

hey

never repeats
