| I had a plan, you’d had enough of working late
|
| So I took my mothers car and the last money I saved
|
| Blind to our tactless egos, the world was ours to take
|
| We had it figured out, yeah we had it figured out
|
| We were saved
|
| You came from a good home
|
| And a family that helped you through
|
| Forever in the shadow of a brother you felt you could never live up to
|
| And I watched you tailor yourself to satisfy the mood
|
| I had you figured out, yeah I had you figured out
|
| But now you lie awake
|
| And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
|
| Well, you should have known that you would fuck it up some day
|
| You try to wish your careless heart away
|
| But it’s not enough, it’s not enough
|
| You won’t be saved
|
| We grew apart and I had to leave for foreign shores
|
| It seems that the plan I had worked out better than I thought
|
| I swear you resented all the opportunities I had
|
| So you filled that hole with women and alcohol
|
| But now you lie awake
|
| And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
|
| Well, you should have known that you would fuck it up some day
|
| You try to wish your careless heart away
|
| But it’s not enough, it’s not enough
|
| You won’t be saved
|
| Oh, no no
|
| You’re just a child in your father’s eyes
|
| Now you’ve a child of your own
|
| Oh, oh how you’ve grown
|
| But now you’re lying awake
|
| And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
|
| Well, you should have known that you would fuck it up some day
|
| You try to wish your careless heart away
|
| But it’s not enough, no no no no no
|
| You won’t be saved |
