Lyrics
I should have warned you that I wasn't what you wanted I should have told you from the start When I look at you all I see is a target An actor cast in the wrong part I'm an accident that's happened And I'm happening again I wish I could fall asleep With the promises I keep 'Cuz I like sleeping alone I probably shouldn't talk so much I probably shouldn't tell you what Has been on my mind I never asked to get so personal with you I didn't think it out too well We were drifters in a world standing still Peddlers with nothing to sell I'm an accident that's happened And I'm happening again I wish I could fall asleep With the promises I keep 'Cuz I like sleeping alone I probably shouldn't talk so much I probably shouldn't tell you what Has been on my mind And in the end there's nothing I can say or do That hasn't been done or said I am not the person I once thought I knew I'm a fantasy instead I'm an accident that's happened And I'm happening again I wish I could fall asleep With the promises I keep 'Cuz I like sleeping alone I probably shouldn't talk so much I probably shouldn't tell you what Has been on my mind
