Lyrics
When Will I Learn
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.
I bought everything that you asked for,
everything but you wanted more,
I guess I wasn't quite enough.
I did everything that you asked me to,
everything that I could do,
I guess I wasn't quite enough.
I should have acted like a hopeless pessimist,
'cause I know that you're a sucker for that type,
and if I told you I was gonna kill myself,
maybe then you'd comfort me and hold me tight.
I took you every place that you wanted to go,
every single place that I know,
I guess I wasn't quite enough.
I told you everything that you wanted to hear,
I said I love you in your ear,
I guess I wasn't quite enough.
[Chorus]
