History Never Repeats

I can't go on if that's the rule
Don't say the words you might regret
I think at last I understand

There was a girl I used to know

I say history never repeats
Never repeats
She dealt my love a savage blow
I tell myself before I go to sleep
You say I always played the fool
I need a change and I can't wait

Lurking about in no-man's land
I lie awake with great ideas

History never repeats
Never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
I've lost before you know I can't forget
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart
Never repeats
But anyway that's History
I tell myself before I go to sleep
I was so young, too blind to see

And there's a light shining in the dark
Deep in the night, it's all so clear
History never repeats

Better to jump than hesitate

Don't say the words you might regret

Leading me on towards a change of heart
History never repeats
History never repeats
I've lost before you know I can't forget
