lyrics
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 is 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 believe there's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
If you deem it so, just cut the chord and go
You’ll be fine there's plenty of hills to climb
And you can't even begin to know how many times I’ve told myself I told you so
And you can't even believe there's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
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 is 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 believe there's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
If you deem it so, just cut the chord and go
You’ll be fine there's plenty of hills to climb
And you can't even begin to know how many times I’ve told myself I told you so
And you can't even believe there's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
