I

Why don't I ever listen to myself?
My head it screams, my heart is deaf
I know what's the right thing to do
I know that I won't be with you
But still I plunge into the knife
It's the story of my life

II

Why don't I take 'No' for an answer?
False hope spreads in me like cancer
I know when it's time to walk away
I know just what I shouldn't say
But still I plunge into the knife
It's the story of my life

III

Why do I get myself in these situations?
Roads to heart-break, paved with complications
I know when I am grasping on air
I know sometimes it isn't fair
But still I plunge into the knife
It's the story of my life

IV

Why does it always come down to you?
The things you will or will not do
I know you'll never leave my mind
I know for that I'll stay behind
But still maybe I won't need the knife
Maybe, in a different life
