Bradley trailed his finger over the keyboard of the piano, the notes scattering in the air, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out the piece of notebook paper, he fiddled around with the keys before finally settling on a somber, haunting melody and began playing.
I can see you standin', honey
With his arms around your body
Laughin' but the joke's not funny at all
And it took you five whole minutes
To pack us up and leave me with it
Holdin' all this love out here in the hallHe sang, his voice echoing off the studio walls
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defendin' now?
You were my town
Now I'm in exile seein' you out
I think I've seen this film beforeHoo, hoo-ooh
Hoo, hoo-ooh
Hoo, hoo-oohSasha came back to the living room and noticed the video was still playing and Neilson was gone "Neilson?" she asked.
I can see you starin', honey
Like he's just your understudy
Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Second, third, and hundredth chances
Balancin' on breaking branches
Those eyes add insult to injuryI think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?
You were my crown
Now I'm in exile seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leavin' out the side doorThe pain in his voice was strong, his agony, guilt and self hatred coming out in song.
So step right out
There is no amount
Of cryin' I can do for youAll this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
So many signsSo many signs (You didn't even see the signs)
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town
Now I'm in exile seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leaving out the side doorSo step right out
There is no amount
Of cryin' I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)The backdoor opened and Neilson stepped inside, he heard the music from the studio and bounded down the stairs, he found Bradley at the piano and leaned against the wall watching him play.
All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
You never gave a warning sign (All this time)
(So many times) I never learned to read your mind
(So many signs) I couldn't turn things around (I couldn't turn things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (You never gave a warning sign)
You never gave a warning sign
Ah, ahThe song ended and Bradley sighed deeply, resting his head in his hands "pretty good" Neilson said, startling him, he looked up to see him leaning in the doorway.
