lyrics

If I had a dollar for every time I was a fool ,
I could build me a great big mansion with an indoor swimming pool .
And mistakes that I keep repeating ,
Are the ones that i forgot .
I guess that shows how much I know .
Not a lot .

I keep trying to start over .
But it's just the same old cage .
Like a calendar of Decembers all trapped on the same page .
And I try to trick myself into being something that I am not.
I guess that shows , how much I know.
Not a lot.

I thought happy endings happened just like in a book.
But maybe I misread the words.
I better take a second look .

I thought that you are the fragile one .
Like crystal on a shelf.
When I dropped you , you would fall apart .
And not regain yourself.
But I am the one who crumbled ,
And was left tied in a knot .
I guess that show how much I know ,
Not a lot.

I thought happy endings happened just like in a book.
But maybe I misread the words.
I better take a second look .

There's no fool like an old fool .
Trying to play the same old game .
Thinking 20, 30 , 40 or even 50 is all the same .
But there's a rude awakening when you go to turn back the clock .
I guess that shows how much I know .
Not a lot.
I guess that shows how much I know .
Not a lot.
