About Predictable

"Predictable" is the lead single from Good Charlotte's third studio album, The Chronicles of Life and Death. This was the first single released that featured Chris Wilson as the band's drummer. This is not to be confused with "The Anthem", which was the first video to feature Wilson. "Predictable" was released to radio on August 24, 2004. The song was also released in a Japanese version; in this version, only Benji Madden sings the Japanese part because he is the only one who knows Japanese. The single reached the top 20 in Australia and the United Kingdom, where it topped the UK Rock Chart for a week. The music video, inspired by the film Edward Scissorhands, takes place in a town drawn by the guitarist Billy Martin, with the band in a house singing the English version. But the Japanese version was dubbed over the English audio. This song was used for a commercial of Donkey Konga 2, and members of Good Charlotte also appear in the commercial.

Something isn't right
I can feel it again, feel it again
This isn't the first time
That you left me waiting

Sad excuses and false hopes high
I saw this coming still
I don't know why I let you in

I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
(something's always wrong)

So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable
(so predictable)

So take your empty words,
Your broken promises
And all the time you stole cause
I am done with this

I can give it away, give it away
I'm doing everything I should've
And now I'm making the change
I'm living the day

I'm giving back what you gave me
I don't need anything

I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
(something's going wrong)

So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable
(so predictable)

Everywhere I go, everyone I meet
Everytime I try to fall in love
They all want to know why I'm so broken
Why am I so cold?

Why I'm so hard inside?
Why am I scared? what am I afraid of?
I don't even know
This story never had an end

I've been waiting, I've been searching
I've been hoping
I've been dreaming you would come back
But I know the ending of this story
You are never coming back, never, never....

I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong
(something's always wrong)

So you don't have to call,
Or say anything at all.
You're so predictable
(so predictable)

Everywhere I go for the rest of my life
Everyone I love everyone I care about
(so predictable)

You all want to know what's wrong with me
But I know what it is (so predictable)
I'm ending this right now
