The exception to the rule

As the keeper of the fuel

You should've known

It wouldn't last you



And you're hardly getting wise

To the problems you surmise

As the lightning leaves your eyes

You should've known

It wouldn't last you



And the hours fly

As the demons play

And you're paralyzed





When did it begin?

When you started to give in

To the prickle of the pin

You should've known

It wouldn't last you



And you think you know the score

As you shut another door

You search around for more

You should've known

It wouldn't last you



Such a sad demise

For your saving grace

Now you realize...





Somehow everything will

Somehow everything will

Be a little different than you thought

Somehow everything will

Somehow everything will

Be a little different than you thought



The lights are fading low

The candle losing glow

And who are you to know

You should've known

It wouldn't last you





Now you lock yourself inside

And you do your best to hide

On a roller coaster ride

You should've known

It wouldn't last you





Somehow everything will

Somehow everything will

Be a little different than you thought

Somehow everything will

Somehow everything will

Be a little different than you thought
