Will I have learned so very little
When these bones are old and brittle?
I wait to talk when I should listen
and cloud mistakes with false revisions.
All my friends are forward-thinking
getting hitched and quitting drinking.
And I can feel them pulling away
as I'm resigned to stay the same
And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
I was once a loyal lover
Who's lips did never seek another's.
But now each love's more like a match
a blinding spark that burns out fast.
And they all conclude with the same sentence:
"I've never met someone more self-centered,
who thinks that life with a nice girl's like
Waiting for a bus to work"
And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
If you deem it so
Just cut the cord and go
You'll be fine
There's plenty of hills to climb
You can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
