Pattern

I know that you think you're good for me

I know you think I'm good for you

But what I know and what I think you see

Is that there's nothing we can do

But you are like a drug to me

And I seem to feed your jones

And when I give in and I run to you

I get the guilt the addict owns

So here we are again

It's the same old place we've been

And I see no trouble coming

But I know trouble's on the way

Because I fell into the pattern

And in the pattern I will stay

The gambler has been running

Like his life was on the line

Couldn't have been the women

Or the wager or the wine

I remember thinking clearly

There but for the grace go I

But it occurred to me

The only grace I see

Is a little something in my eye

So here we are again

It's the same old place we've been

And I see no trouble coming

But I know trouble's on the way

Because I fell into the pattern

And in the pattern I will stay

I swear that I think I'm over you

I swear I'll never be

I swear I don't believe a word

That's coming out of me

I swore you were a fever once

I've sworn love north and south

I've sworn so much the soap is gone,

Dissolving in my mouth

So here we are again

It's the same old place we've been

And I see no trouble coming

But I know trouble's on the way

Because I fell into the pattern

And in the pattern I will stay
