an old sad song

I based my love on pure affection
My fault, my bad, I thought I gave your life direction
Guess I was wrong
You aren't half the man I thought you were
Gave me your heart, then you went home to her

An old sad song
Ooh, I was wrong

The river crafted these words long ago
The lesson learned is what I should've known
But here we are
Your words were laced with whiskey and regret
I can't get over all the hours I'd spent

Chasing the stars
Ooh, here we are

I think you knew right from the start how we'd end
So kiss me on the cheek and call me your friend
Don't be a coward now, I know you
So sick of second-best despite your truth

See me
See me

I guess we're back to where we started now
Awkward silence we should fill, but how?
I won't be made a fool
I'll see you when the weather changes, love
The clouds will clear and Sun will shine above

I will learn from you
I'm no fool

I will learn from you
