Oh, friend How I wish I could tell you All the things you were meant to learn in time All of the wide and winding pavements All the little narrow ways Missteps you took along the way Oh, friend I guess it was meant to be You'd have done all the same even if I'd said How you'd be faithless fortune's fool To keep holding onto things The one that hurts you also brings you love All those questionable relational choices Make me insane I went for the ones who gave the chase How I made mistakes I was living on highs all of the time, just looking away The real thing left was all of the pain And it aches, it breaks, to know the bitter truth It aches, it breaks, shakes you till you're bruised You didn't want to know how this love was just a ruse Till you awoke to the inconvenient facts about the matter then All those questionable relational choices Make me insane I went for the ones who gave the chase How I made mistakes But without them I'd never be Who I am today Good things come to those who wait Remember, remember the one who brings you love
