Things We Don't Mean

I know sometimes I don't say the right things
And I know sometimes it seems I'm not listening
Every time that I'm out of town, you're gettin mad 'cause I'm not around
And I get that nasty phone call and here we go again

If you want to, we can go there
I'll go down swingin, not afraid to make a scene
Let's make one thing clear, this will be over soon
Say what you gotta say, just don't say things we don't mean

I need to do the things I have to
Just to make a living and pay the bills
Preoccupied with the way I groove, never stoppin, always on the move
Because no one ever made it standing still

We're always talking a lot about
How we always seem to bottom out
You will never let me live this down
