By the Way

                                  In the winding down hours

I let your heart down again

(What did I do to make a scene so gory?

I'm no better than the ones before me)

Old habits die hard

I always end up hating the end

(What did I do to make a scene so gory?

I'm no better than the ones before me)



I'm in the middle of a breakdown

Watching you scream

In the middle of a breakdown

Screaming at me



[Chorus:]

And by the way

By the way

What made you think you'd have it your way?

And by the way

By the way

Don't say I didn't warn you that I'll always stay the same



Speechless and frozen

Uncomfortable silence again

(What did I do to make a scene so gory?

I'm no better than the ones before me)

I'm in the middle of a breakdown

Watching you scream

In the middle of a breakdown

Screaming at me



[Chorus]



Battered and bruised

Broken, confused

It's time we both knew, oh

Can't stop what I started

This time we both lose, lose



And by the way

By the way

What made you think you'd have it your way?

And by the way

By the way

Don't say I didn't warn you that I'll always stay the same

The same, the same

I'll always stay the same

(Battered and bruised)

The same, (broken, confused), the same

I didn't warn you that I'd always stay the same
