re-offender

travis

Keeping up appearances
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions


But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
But then you do it again, you do it again

Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell

But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
And again and again and again and again

Are you getting a divorce or something. It seems like you are always posting songs that are about being unhappy in a relationship. Am I misunderstanding this?

no, I'm not getting a divorce. That's actually one relationship in my life that makes me the most happy....

this song specifically has to do with the struggles of living with someone who has a mental illness. I'm convinced my mother has bi-polar and probably a wealth of other mental instabilities also. her illness makes it very difficult to know when she's truly sorry for her actions and is taking full responsibility for them or when it's just the illness talking....
