Well I've always been a malcontent Never real good at taking compliments With one foot in my mouth, I apologize And I'll never forget my last drink Elevator going up but I was sinking From the 25th floor all I wanted to do was fly Well I've never been happier than walking away I'll get to where I'm going someday And if I don't at least I'll keep you guessing Ya I've never been better than being alone Every mistake I make is my own 'Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons Y'know I got three boys and a minivan Some days I forget who I am And when I'm lost, I lead myself astray 25 years out on the road Lost a few good friends and some I didn't know And here I am, dancing on their graves Well think about, baby, what you really want Has it ever been good enough? And pardon me all my indiscretions But when you add it all up now in the end I hope you'll take me back again 'Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons ♪ Well think about, baby, what you really want Hooo, is it good enough? And pardon me all my indiscretions But when you add it all up now in the end I hope you'll take me back again 'Cause some people only learn the hardest lessons Yeah, some people only learn the hardest lessons
