[Verse 1]

Just give me a chance, she said as I packed my things

But I already did four times, don't you remember?

I won't blow it again, she said, with her fingers crossed

But she forgot about the mirror behind her

I'm done with plastic promises


[Chorus]

Please don't tell me that we're fine

I got too much on my mind

Isn't this too plain to see? Maybe

Cause we've lost too much to gain

We were dancing in the rain

Tell me what am I to do

With a double dose of you?

A dose of you


[Verse 2]

Her lips are the gun and her tongue are the bullets

She could save a life, but she took mine away instead

And we gave it our all, so don't call me a quitter, no

And I've swear I've tried too many times before but

I'm done with plastic promises


[Chorus]

Please don't tell me that we're fine

I got too much on my mind

Isn't this too plain to see? Maybe

Cause we've lost too much to gain

We were dancing in the rain

Tell me what am I to do

With a double dose of-

With a double dose of you


[Bridge]

Don't try to defy or even make an attempt

My blinders are off and I am running again from you

Am I okay? Am I okay? I know I'll be okay again

Are you ready?

So here we go, I know

You'd kill for everything to stay the same

In vain, we had to go our separate ways

When you proved to me that you would never change

I finally woke up and exclaimed

That I'm done with these plastic promises


[Chorus]

Please don't tell me that we're fine (We're not)

I got too much on my mind

Isn't this too plain to see? Maybe, yeah

Cause we've lost too much to gain

We were dancing in the rain

Tell me what am I to do

With a double dose of-

With a double dose of you?
