It finally ended and I fell into a heap in the corner
Nobody was there to pick me up the third time
And everybody's saying, look I'm sorry, but I told ya
Well I don't wanna believe that you're no longer mine
But you've gotta learn from you own mistakes
And nobody else's
If it takes two years for me to learn it's someone else's turn
That's a lesson I have to learn
But don't break my heart and expect to get off scot-free
I've got a guitar, an acid tongue, and an elephant's memory
I wouldn't let anybody else do these things to me
It's dangerous to love someone unconditionally, I believe
But you've gotta from you own mistakes
And nobody else's
If it takes my life for me to learn you're a parasitic germ
That's a lesson I'd like to learn
And when I choose the right trail, I hope I know
But I move like a snail
Really slow
Really slow
Really slow
