You come back and change your dial ‘cause nothing stays the same
You show off your new hairstyle and pick out a new name
I always go the extra mile although it's just a game
I realize the truth is vile, something we can blame
Oh what a shame
But what's your name

Baby, lure me in again, if only for the pain
Maybe you could be a friend, but what is there to gain
Look how many songs I’ve penned, is it all in vain
I don’t know what I intend, so hard to contain
It hurts my brain
I should abstain

Wanna get to know you
Have something to show you
Find me by the end of the night
Close my eyes and see you
Gonna have a breakthrough
The lights are up so bright
I don’t really know you
I don’t think I want to
But part of me just might
Come sell me what you do
In your room with a view
My feelings are so trite

Don’t ever wanna see you there, I’ll go hop a train
Step out on the road I swear, in the middle of the lane
Everyone will stop and stare, spit on by the rain
Jolt awake and wonder where, feel pounding in my veins
Am I insane
Do I entertain

Then you’re gone and back again as quickly as you came
Fill me in on how you’ve been and reignite the flame
Reason strikes me in the head, reminds me of your game
Almost beat me ‘til I’m dead, forgetting all the same
Oh what a shame
It’s such a shame
So what’s your name

You came up to me this time
I wasn’t the one
My name slips your mind
You still remember what we’ve done
But most of all I’m tired
When it’s all transpired
And it’s not up to me
To call you a liar

I think we could have some really great hate sex
If I cared enough to get upset
Though I don’t think I’d mind it, and you’d never forget
So come outside to share a cigarette

I know you don’t like her
So I tried to crack a joke
Am I a reminder of
The men you’d like to choke
Would I be the problem
If I were something else
There is nothing wrong with
The hand that I was dealt

I think we could have some really great hate sex
If I cared enough to get upset
Though I don’t think I’d mind it, I just might enjoy the threat
I’d like if you were nice with no regrets

Speak to me in confidence
Was I the first you told
We could be in consonance
Not fighting for control
But you turn it around on me
Knowing it’s not easy
It couldn’t be jealousy
If you saw what I see

Find irony in sleazy
Maybe we’d be free
Now, if it were that easy
Then you would be with me

I think we could have some really great hate sex
If I cared enough to get upset
Though I don’t think I’d mind it, I wouldn’t make a bet
On a lesson learned like Juliet
I think we could have some really great hate sex
If I cared enough to get upset
Though I don’t think I’d mind it, I’d much rather reset
To a life where we had never met
