Death Cab For Cutie Lyrics

"I Was Once a Loyal Lover" lyrics


Well I have learned so very little
When these bones are old and brittle
I wait to talk when I should listen
The crowd mistakes with false revisions

All my friends are forward-thinking
Getting hitched and quitting drinking
And I can feel them pulling away
As I'm resigned to stay the same

And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"

I was once a loyal lover
Whose lips did never seek another
And now each love's more like a match-up
Buying things sparked that burns up fast

And they all conclude with the same sentence:
"I've never met someone more self-centered"
And thinks that life with the nice girl's like
Waiting for a bus to work

And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me

If you deem it so
Just cut the cord and go
You'll be fine
There's plenty of hills to climb

You can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
