[refrain]
I’ve been here before
I’ve been, I’ve been
here before (before)
I’ve been here before
I’ve been, I’ve been
here before (before)
[Verse]
Memories grip me
Like a power house they rip me
Shattered into splinters
Dissolving like snow in the winter
I’m tender to the touch
It just is so much
So Don’t you judge me
Or think you’re above me
You could be here too
So you better just love me
[refrain]
I’ve been here before
I’ve been, I’ve been
here before (before)
I’ve been here before
I’ve been, I’ve been
here before (before)
[Chorus]
Thought splinters
Piercing my brain
I react in vain (in vain)
To avoid all the pain
But It’s got me again (again again again)
I’m Tough as nails
(Or so they say)
But I remember the day
That I gave up all the way
[verse]
At night I stay up
Thinking so much
It’s never so rough
Unless there’s something you forgot
So let it go (I know)
Don’t deepen the plot
Or throw the first blow
(Cause the counter blow hurts a lot)
[Chorus]
Thought splinters
Piercing my brain
I react in vain (in vain)
To avoid all the pain
But It’s got me again (again again again)
I’m Tough as nails
(Or so they say)
But I remember the day
That I gave up all the way
[Verse]
Ha! Here I am again
Back for round two
It sticks to me like glue
But what else is new?
What went wrong?
I’ve taken much too long
To change my mind
Oh man are you blind? (Blind blind blind)
[refrain]
I’ve been here before
I’ve been, I’ve been
here before before
I’ve been here before
I’ve been, I’ve been
here before before]
[Chorus]
Thought splinters
Piercing my brain
I react in vain (in vain)
To avoid all the pain
But It’s got me again (again again again)
I’m Tough as nails
(Or so they say)
But I remember the day
That I gave up all the way
[Verse]
Oh yeah I meant that
Or no I didn’t
Let me finish
Don’t diminish
My mind is sent back
To when I was
young
Always under the gun
Do this
Don’t to that
No time to chat
Or hug
Just react
So back
Me into a corner
No borders
Just blue n black
It’s true
I wish I had pushed back
[refrain]
I’ve been here before
I’ve been, I’ve been
here before before
I’ve been here before
I’ve been, I’ve been
here before before]
[Chorus]
Thought splinters
Piercing my brain
I react in vain (in vain)
To avoid all the pain
But It’s got me again (again again again)
I’m Tough as nails
(Or so they say)
But I remember the day
That I gave up all the way
[outro]
I’ve been here before
So just close the door
Don’t bother me no more
Thought splinters of yore
