Does Not Bear Repeating

This is not the way I thought it would be
I thought it would be much lighter
This is not the way I thought it would be
I thought it would be much brighter
I thought I saw stars, but it was the rain
Falling
I thought it was a fight but it was a game
All-in
I thought it was once but it was again and again and again
My friend, indeed, it does not bear repeating
I could blame somebody else for my heart
For the part that’s broken
I could blame somebody else for my heart
But I kept that spoke in
I thought I saw stars, but it was the rain
Falling
I thought it was a fight but it was a game
All-in
I thought it was once but it was again and again and again
My friend, indeed, it does not bear repeating
Do not lie down on solid ground
Not slink around this time
Pass overhead or pass under it
Let the fire make you the dragon instead
Instead
This is not the way I thought it would be
I thought it would be much lighter
This is not the way I thought it would be
I thought it would be much brighter
I thought I saw stars, but it was the rain
Falling
I thought it was a fight but it was a game
All-in
I thought it was once but it was again and again and again
My friend, indeed, it does not bear repeating
