Lyrics
Thought I'd Have Learned
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Thought I'd have learned by now.
Thought I'd have learned by now.
To giving my heart with no doubt. (?)
Thought I'd have learned by now.
I'm tired of lies by now.
Tired of lies by now.
Is there an honest man in this crowd?
Tired of lies by now.
They say I'm defeated, and I think that they're right.
So when death comes knocking, I won't put up a fight.
I'll just lay here in this bed, and I'll just close my eyes,
And if I wake tomorrow, honey, well, I'll be surprised.
Thought I'd be happy by now.
Thought I'd be happy by now.
But shit just ain't working out.
Thought I'd be happy by now.
Wish she would call right now.
Wish she (he)* would call right now,
'Cause her (his)* voice just helps somehow.
Wish she (he)* would call right now.
They say I'm defeated, and I think that they're right.
So when death comes knocking, I won't put up a fight.
I'll just lay here in this bed, and I'll just close my eyes,
And if I wake tomorrow, honey, well, I'll be surprised.
*[Background vocal sings "he". Lead sings "she".]
