about

Two ex-lovers meet randomly and have a fiery exchange.

lyrics

Hey Benny how you doing it's been two long years
I know you saw me and thought you could sneak out of here
You treated me like shit, maybe I deserved it
But I'm not letting you leave until I've had my say

Running away, are you running away
You running away from me?
I don't want you to stay, but I'm happy to say
You're running away from me

I tried to get away
I tried to go through the motions
I tried to slip away
And that's when she said to me
You don't know
You never, could ever
Believe it
You don't know
You never, could ever
And you threw it away

I'm sorry darling, I never meant to make you cry
I found my feet right here, don't you want to step aside?
I'm sure you've dwelled in the past but it's been long enough
I was no perfect match, but maybe it's deserved

I was a messed-up guy, when you knew me then
I didn't have any values and I couldn't pretend
That I didn't mess with you and that's not fair
But I'm trying to change now, I swear

I tried to get away
I tried to go through the motions
I tried to slip away
And that's when she said to me
You don't know
You never, could ever
Believe it
You don't know
You never, could ever
Believe it

It's all so easy, all so easy
You're inside my brain
You want for nothing, social nothing
And you're going to pay

I never wanted to stay
I never wanted to stay
I didn't want you to stay
I didn't want you to stay
What do you want me to say?

I tried to get away
I tried to go through the motions
I tried to slip away
And that's when she said to me

You don't know
You never, could ever
Believe it
You don't know
You never, could ever
Believe it

You don't know
You never, could ever
Believe it
You don't know
You never, could ever
And you threw it away
