about

An older song I wrote circa 2013

lyrics

My dad says mistakes are lessons
And that failures the way that we learn
But experience has gotten me nowhere
Just like the diploma I never earned

I dropped out of every commitment
That I ever made to myself
So now when my relatives ask about me
My mom says "she's still got her health"

I could tell you that I don't resent you at all
But we both know that isn't true
But believe me I'm being sincere when I say
That I don't still think about you
And if I haven't changed since you knew me
In high school then why should I care
'Cause if bygones are bygones then people can move on but you haven't gotten there

Fool me once but it didn't turn out well
I fought hard to get where I am
But fool me again I'm a sucker for lust
And it didn't work out like I planned
So now I'm stuck in a job I hate
Asking my friends to commiserate
But they're sick of my whining
And I'm sick of trying to please everyone
So I'll get up and run

I could tell you that I don't resent you at all
But we both know that isn't true
But believe me I'm being sincere when I say
That I don't still think about you
And if I haven't changed since you knew me
In high school then why should I care
'Cause if bygones are bygones then people can move on but you haven't gotten there

I've become an expert at packing
My lifestyle somewhat nomadic
And I routinely deny the assistance
When someone else offers to carry my baggage
My dad says mistakes are lessons
But I always have been slow to learn
So when you ask me "my dear, do you mind if I smoke?"
I said, "I don't care if you burn"
