It was bound to happen that I'd end up at your door
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance
'Cause I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for
But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about
You think that you are complicated, deep mystery to all
Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
All energy, no meaning, with a lot of words
So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down
And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind
So see you when you're 40, lost and all alone
Being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
Not sad because you lost me
But sad because you thought it was cool to be sad
You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd
If you had walked past me today, I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
Wouldn't have picked you out
Now I've seen, tonight, how I could waste my time
And I'll be on my way, and I won't be back
'Cause I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about
You're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back
I've driven round in circles for three hours It was bound to happen that I'd end up at your door I temporarily forgot there's better days to come I thought that I would give it just one more chance 'Cause I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about You think that you are complicated, deep mystery to all Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special All energy, no meaning, with a lot of words So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind So see you when you're 40, lost and all alone Being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know Not sad because you lost me But sad because you thought it was cool to be sad You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd If you had walked past me today, I wouldn't have picked you out I wouldn't have picked you out Wouldn't have picked you out Now I've seen, tonight, how I could waste my time And I'll be on my way, and I won't be back 'Cause I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about You're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back Explain Request ×
