So Predictable

Listen: 
http://www.benbruce.com/songs/so-predictable

If it’s better to stay still, you’ll react
If I need to focus, you’ll distract
You’ll take a misplaced word, and make it fact

It’s a shame, but I know what you’re gonna do
It’s a shame, but I know what you’re gonna do

If she stands firm, your costume cracks
and a darkness at your roots is exposed
twisted words and the way you said them, you can’t take back

It’s a shame, but I know what you’re gonna do
It’s a shame …

You want a prediction
I’ve got one for you
Keep bothering me and mine
I’m going to bother you

If she reaches out, your disease kicks in
If she nails you down, you distract again
If she’s too strong, you weasel in

It’s a shame, but I know what you’re gonna do
It’s a shame, but I know what you’re gonna do
It’s a shame, but I know what you’re gonna do
It’s a shame.
