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
