Wiser

Lyrics

Ten years since you left me stranded
Ten years since you broke my heart
Ten years since that laundromat
Ten years since your depart

Ten years since my friends betrayed me
Ten years since they fell for you
Ten years since I lost my squad
Ten years since I looked like a fool

After all the hell you put me through
and the pain you stabbed into my back
after growin' older, and growin' better
still I took you back

I thought I was wiser
I thought I was wiser
I thought I was wiser
I thought I was wiser

Six years since my failed nuptuals
Five years since I became you
I ran around and tore him down
Fell in love with a different few

After all the hell you put me through
and the pain you stabbed into my back
well, you taught me well, I'm no better than you
still he took me back

I thought I was wiser
I thought I was wiser
I thought I was wiser
I thought I was wiser

Three years since I said I'd leave
because he didn't believe in me
he didn't believe in me singing my songs
and he loved to watch me need (loved to watch me need)

Three years since I left that house,
Three years since I have grown
but I still guilt about his pains and his cries that night
when he slept on that cold floor alone

(after all the hell you put him through,
and the pain you stabbed into his back)

Well I'm still growin older
I'm still growin better
and I'm never, never going back

and now I am wiser
and now I am wiser
and now I am wiser
and now I am wiser

Ten years since you left me stranded
Ten years since you broke my heart
Ten years since that laundromat
Ten years since your depart
