Well I have learned so very little, when these bones are old and brittle
I wait to talk when I should listen, I crowd 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 matchup, 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
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
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
So many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
