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
