[Verse 1] Give up the ghosts
And that's time it reapproach
It was a fantasy, that you'd have me be
The tired clock is ticking
I'm sure you know what's missing
You cried for me
Hailing sympathy
I thought you and I were friends
But there was something to believe in
You go around saying I've changed
Have you remained the same
Know the date and the place
I'll return some other day
To confront what's left

[Chorus] How can you say that (how can you say that)
You watch your own back (you watch your own back)
Will you ever gave it up?
How can you say that (how can you say that)
You watch your own back (you watch your own back)
You know you never gave it up

[Verse 2] If you won't do it
No one else can do it
It's not like only you, I heard it
Depraved and base all so common plays
Come on tough guy, where's your muscle
Holding up to yourself?

[Chorus] How can you say that (how can you say that)
You watch your own back (you watch your own back)
Will you ever gave it up?
How can you say that (how can you say that)
You watch your own back (you watch your own back)
You know you never gave it up
