History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
Don't say the words you might regret
I lost before, you know I can't forget

There was a girl I used to know
Well, she dealt my love the savage blow
I was so young, too blind to see
But anyway, that's history

And I say, history never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart

You say I always play the fool
I can't go on if that's the rule
Better to jump than hesitate
I need a change and I can't wait

I say, history never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart

Never repeats, whoa
History never repeats
History never re-

Deep in the night it's all so clear
I lie awake with great ideas
Lurking about in no man's land
I think at last I understand

History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart

Yeah
