Does Not Bear Repeating - The Weepies, Deb Talan, Steve Tannen

This is not the way I thought it would be

I thought it would be much lighter

This is not the way I thought it would be

I thought it would be much brighter

I thought I saw stars, but it was the rain

Falling

I thought it was a fight but it was a game

All-in

I thought it was once but it was again and again and again

My friend, indeed, it does not bear repeating

I could blame somebody else for my heart

For the part that’s broken

I could blame somebody else for my heart

But I kept that spoke in

I thought I saw stars, but it was the rain

Falling

I thought it was a fight but it was a game

All-in

I thought it was once but it was again and again and again

My friend, indeed, it does not bear repeating

Do not lie down on solid ground

Not slink around this time

Pass overhead or pass under it

Let the fire make you the dragon instead

Instead

This is not the way I thought it would be

I thought it would be much lighter

This is not the way I thought it would be

I thought it would be much brighter

I thought I saw stars, but it was the rain

Falling

I thought it was a fight but it was a game

All-in

I thought it was once but it was again and again and again

My friend, indeed, it does not bear repeating
