I sat back and watched you flounder
I sat back and watched the tide pull you under
You seemed to be waiting for
Some kind of lucky break
I sat back and watched you flounder
And I can't help but wonder
Why can't you learn from
My mistakes
"Cause I'll tell you right now
There are no lucky breaks
Just when I thought I had it all together
Thought I could stop and talk about the weather
Here it comes
Here it comes again
Backsliding again
About the time I thought I'd learned a new dance
I spun around and slipped into that old trance
Backsliding again
