I've Been Here Before

Lush

I've tried to be strong, I've tried to be tough 
But I think that this time I've had more than enough 
I've seen too much of your games and your immature stuff 
You're a waste of time

All the people I've known throughout all the years 
Too many vodkas and too many beers 
And I've learnt a few lessons from all of the tears 
You're way out of line 

I feel so lucky sometimes 
I sit down and I look at all my friends 
They mean more than the stupid fools that pass my way 

I used to prefer those who weren't good for me 
Somehow the attraction beat reality 
Now all the rubbish they spill, it means nothing to me 
I'm just much more wise 

Some people grow up and some only pretend 
They're all over the place, these children dressed up as men 
They can't imagine how a woman can be only a friend 
And they deal in lies 

I feel so lucky sometimes 
I sit down and listen to my friends 
They say more than the empty words that pass my way 
And I feel so lucky sometimes 
I've got a feeling I've been here before 
I can see the world for what it really is 

You think that I'm jealous, well don't be so vain 
I can tell in your voice you think I want you again 
Well, if I did you know I think I'd be a little insane 
You just leave me cold

Ooh, you and her in your sad little world 
You can only exist with the help of a girl 
Well, I'm glad it's not me, I've got my life to unfurl 
You're just way too old 

I feel so lucky sometimes 
I sit down and look at all my friends 
They mean more than the stupid fools that pass my way 
And I feel so lucky sometimes 
I've got a feeling I've been here before X4

I've been here before X8
