Payback

Is this how it ends, lying in bed
Talking to a cheap tape recorder instead of my friends
In bed with a low grade fever, they wanted to know how could I leave you
I can't tell them that, it might sound like revenge

Some things don't need a payback
Some things are sure, some things you can't feel safe about

Where do I start? I was waiting for my head to clear up
I thought I was smart, I'd find the answers in time
But the answers I find, aren't what you want to hear
They're not even close

But some things don't need a payback
Some things are sure, some things you can' t feel safe about
Some things don't need a clear up, you got that?

I remember good things like the van breaking down
I sat on your lap in the auto repair and you touched my hair
While the heavy drops rain on the pavement outside

Don't take revenge, just let it lie
The easiest thing, is if you just let it die
Don't give me a chance, you don't owe me that
Don't follow me out, I'll think you're coming for some payback

Some things don't need a payback
Some things are sure, some things you can't feel safe about
Some things don't need a clear up, you got that?

Why did I leave? How long did it take?
It could take forever
But some things don't need a payback
You got that, you got that?
