A Thousand Ideas

This is history coming around and repeating itself

Throwing a thousand ideas in the air and hoping one sticks

And it's one thing to be careful of what you wish for

But it's another thing to be content with what you get

I'm like a mirror, she's like a window

I'm like a mirror, she's like a window

Everyone knows what she's already said

But nobody listened cause she's out of her depth

And I'm not gonna save her this time

Cause once bitten, twice shy and she really bites

Being polite has become a dirty word

And conversation's turned into a dying art

Spiteful words will hurt his feelings

Silence will break her heart

Everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about

I mean, everybody knows exactly what I'm talking about

I'm like a mirror, she's like a window

I'm like a mirror, she's like a window

Everyone knows what she's already said

But nobody listened cause she's out of her depth

Now if I think about this carefully

I can try and twist the knife

And if she learns to behave herself

I will learn how to be polite

But I'm not gonna save her this time

Cause once bitten, twice shy and she really bites
