The Burning Period Lyrics

Hindsight's twenty-twenty

And I've got eyes like a hawk, my dear.

Tell me what's the matter. Your tears are far from flattering

And his intentions never seemed so clear.

Don't you wish you could take it back

'Cause I'm one in a million or more.

I should have known, in fact I saw it coming.

You said this once before.



Take is as we go. Let it out slow.

Anyway you want it, baby, just say so.

You make it sound so easy

And I'll never let the likes of you

Get the best of me.



Better sense tells me to leave

And lay our skeletons to sleep

But I'm far too deep now to run away.

Can you still feel him breathing down your neck

'Cause I can still see him standing there.

Sweetheart, I know what's going on.



One time, shame on you girl

Two times, shame on me

The third time's a charm

You said it was forever

You've got five little fingers 'round a great big knife

And you're sneaking up on me.
