You Will Know

You know not what I now know

Your time is coming, boy, you will learn

Your stubborn ears don't hear a thing

Every scar a badge of honor earned

Do you know what made you run away?

Have you given it a moment of thought?

No - you've regressed

into a drunken mess

Numb your brain, numb the pain,

Whiskey shots

What I know is who you are deep inside

Your cowardice is your biggest flaw

Too scared to accept the life we planned

And too scared to cut ties - you withdraw

You know not what I now know

I know that most relationships won't last

They're stamped with an expiration date

I think our "use by"date may have passed

Do you know your actions are cutting me?

Do you care that Im over here bleeding?

Do you think I'll wait for you forever?

Do you like me best, crying & pleading?

You know not what I now know

It's unnatural the way you turn so cold

To turn off emotions like you turn off a lamp

How are your emotions so controlled?

You know not what I now know

I learned the hard way, I earned my scars

Yet I was dumb enough to fall for you

So dumb to think the dream could be ours

I know a truth, you'll find out as well

I think soon your eyes will be open

There's not enough liquor in the world

To fix a lonely heart that has been broken

I know what you are going to know

But you're going to learn the hard way

You are not entitled to a goddamn thing

And every dog does NOT have his day

You know not what I now know

Happiness is not guaranteed

It's a limited offer, may not come again

Grab on tight, don't let it recede

I don't think you and I stand a chance

Not while you're a walking shit show

We are squandering the love we should embrace

Soon enough, you'll know what I know
