I see your message on the whiteboard
I got your telephone call
When you decide on your choices
Think of the consequences 
Think of the consequences 

(I know, I know, a little bit of me, a little bit of you in the blame game)
I know you're testing all the boundaries
I see your crocodile tears
(I know, I know, don't wanna lose this beautiful love we found)
I'm gonna keep throwing up shots
And the consequences, the consequences 
(And if I can, I'd take away all the pain and the hurt I've caused you) 
(I know, I know you wanna do the same 'cause you want things right again)

Finger-pointing is aggressive 
I'm no angel, I know 
But don't just follow your impulses 
Actions have a voice that cries out
Just tell me what you want me to know

(I know, I know, a little bit of me, a little bit of you in the blame game)
In the end, we will better if we can sit and talk
(I know, I know, don't wanna lose this beautiful love we found)
No retribution, the past has a part to play and
Decisions we make today we (and if I can)
Can't know the consequences (I'd take away all the pain and the hurt I've caused you) 
The consequences, 
(I know, I know you wanna do the same 'cause you want things right again)
The consequences

Don't want a power struggle 
I just want to reinforce the choice 
If your actions hurt my heart 
I gotta show you just how much 

You're testing boundaries, pushing limits
Giving in might be easier 
To let you in and bear the consequences 

You won't lose your sense of self 
Water has a natural way it goes
Let's try hard to work things out 
Let's have a plan A, B, C, and D
Set up guidelines, keep our cool 
Can't maintain the status quo 
We got problems and there are consequences 

Don't give me drama and emotion
We're gonna follow this through 
We've gotta take away restrictions and face the consequences 
I know you're testing all the boundaries
I see your crocodile tears
I'm going to keep throwing up shots at the consequences 

(I know, I know, a little bit of me, a little bit of you in the blame game)
I know you're testing all the boundaries
I see your crocodile tears
(I know, I know, don't wanna lose this beautiful love we found)
I'm gonna keep throwing up shots
And the consequences, the consequences 
(And if I can, I'd take away all the pain and the hurt I've caused you) 
I know you're testing all the boundaries
I see your crocodile tears
(I know, I know you wanna do the same 'cause you want things right again)
I'm gonna keep throwing up shots
And the consequences, the consequences 
(I know, I know, a little bit of me, a little bit of you in the blame game)
I know you're testing all the boundaries
I see your crocodile tears
(I know, I know, don't wanna lose this beautiful love we found)
I'm gonna keep throwing up shots
And the consequences, the consequences 
(And if I can, I'd take away all the pain and the hurt I've caused you) 
I know you're testing all the boundaries
I see your crocodile tears
(I know, I know)
