When I get used to disappointment I'll be sure to let you know

When I figure out where the truth went that's where I'll go

There's something so satisfying knowing you were right all along

But when you lose everything you're gonna wish you were wrong



You're gonna wish you had more of everything you have

You're gonna wish you were ideal instead of a sham

You end up with nothing - still you have to pay

And pretty soon you're gonna wish you knew how to pray



Well I've been through all of this so many times I can't believe

It can still conquer me and make me grieve

When what you want and what you are can never meet

You're gonna wish you knew how - you knew how to dream



You're gonna wish you had more of everything you have

You're gonna wish you were ideal instead of a sham

You end up with nothing - still you have to pay

And pretty soon you're gonna wish you knew how to pray



You're gonna wish for another wish for another wish
