History Never Repeats Lyrics - Split Enz

History never repeats 

I tell myself before I go to sleep 

Don't say the words you might regret 

I've lost before you know I can't forget 

There was a girl I used to know 

She dealt my love a savage blow 

I was so young, too blind to see 

But anyway that's History 

I say history never repeats 

I tell myself before I go to sleep 

Don't say the words you might regret 

I've lost before you know I can't forget 

You say I always played the fool 

I can't go on if that's the rule 

Better to jump than hesitate 

I need a change and I can't wait 

History never repeats 

I tell myself before I go to sleep 

And there's a light shining in the dark 

Leading me on towards a change of heart 

History never repeats 

History never repeats 

Deep in the night, it's all so clear 

I lie awake with great ideas 

Lurking about in no-man's land 

I think at last I understand 

History never repeats 

I tell myself before I go to sleep 

And there's a light shining in the dark 

Leading me on towards a change of heart 

Never repeats 

Never repeats 

Never repeats 

Hey, hey, hey
