I was once a loyal lover

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
Whose 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
