Laura Imbruglia - The Meaning of the Word lyrics

I see brown on the ground and a**ume that it's somebody's blood When it could've easily been saffron leaves or the remnants of mud I don't know why I always a**ume the worst Blame my parents, blame the government, blame you first Now I'm not trying to abuse you or make you pay But you need reminding, you didn't lose me, you threw me away And these days I'm fine but there was a time When I was looking for a strong foundation To hang my sad body from To hang my sad body from I'm glad I didn't do it 'Cause lately I've had a lot of fun Had a lot of fun Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word And so I'm moving on and I'm thinking about other things And I bet everybody's glad 'cause heartbreak can sometimes get really boring I met a man who said more than a handful is a waste I feel the same way about talented people with bad taste If I could solve the problems of the world with a child's mind Momma Ca** would give the sandwich back to Karen and they'd both survive But there's deeper roots I wish it were true How high do you climb 'til you find a nice view To throw yourself off into To throw yourself off into The hill's too high The sun's too bright The sky's too blue Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word Now I know I didn't know the meaning of the word (Of the word, of the word) I'm trying to be more like the sea Take the money and run
