Payback

Is this how it ends Lying in bed, talking to a cheap tape recorder Instead of my friends In bed with a low grade fever They wanted to know, how could I leave you I can't tell them that It might sound like revenge But some things don't need a payback Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about Is this how it starts I was waiting for my head to clear up I thought I was smart, I'd find the answers in time But the answers I find aren't what you want to hear They're not even close But some things don't need a payback Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about Some things don't need a clear up I remember good things, like the van breaking down I sat on your lap in the auto repair And you touched my hair While the heavy drops rain on the pavement outside Don't take revenge Just let it lie The easiest thing is if you just let it die Don't give me a chance You don't owe me that Don't follow me out Unless you're coming for some payback But some things don't need a payback Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about Some things don't need a clear up Why did I leave How long did it take It could take forever But some things don't need a payback You got that?
