Better Reason lyrics

You gotta give
You gotta give me a better reason
to listen to you
it's gonna take
it's gonna take more than shouting at me
to make me concede

you should have left it alone

too late open mouth
stupid words
like "never again" and "only one more time"
being lame
doing things you know better than that
is it too much to ask

we're older, not wiser, contrite and indifferent
we're learning, just slower
and someday we'll be the ones to point and to blame
