How can I decide what's right?
when you're clouding up my mind
I can't win your losing fight,
all the time

Nellie couldn't decide anything
she couldn't see what was right or wrong
because Sweeney clouded her mind
Nellie couldn't win any fight that was almost lost

How can I ever own what's mine,
when you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride,
no not this time
Not this time…

How Could Nellie ever own anything that was hers
because Sweeney was always taking sides
But there was one thing he couldn't take
that was Nellie her pride!
it was hers and no one could have it
Nellie closed her eyes

How did we get here
When I used to know you so well
But how did we get here
I think I know

Nellie opened them again
all the color was gone
how did they get there?
she thought she knew Sweeney
she thought she knew

The truth is hiding in your eyes
and its hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
but you think that I cant see
What kind of man that you are,
if you're a man at all
Well I will figure this one
out on my own
(I'm screaming i love you so)
on my own
(my thoughts you can't decode)

Nellie looked in to Sweeney's eyes
she saw the truth was hiding there
and she knew he knew how'd they got there
Nellie's blood was boiling!
Sweeney thought she couldn't see the truth
What kind of man was he?
Was he even a man at all?
Not just a salve for love?
Nellie knew she would figure it all out
from the inside she wanted to scream
but on the outside she couldn't

How did we get here
when I used to know you so well
But how did we get here
I think I know

Nellie had the feeling that he wouldn't tell her
she thought she knew Sweeney
But she just hoped she knew him

Do you see what we've done
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves

Does Sweeney even see what he has done?
He made a fool of himself

How did we get here
when I used to know you so well
But how did we get here
I think I know

Nellie looked to Sweeney
'How'd we got here?'
'I don't know'
Nellie really thought she knew him so well!
but she didn't

There is something I see in you
It might kill me
I want it to be true
