    Lyrics

    I've driven round in circles for three hours
    It was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours
    I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
    I thought that I would give it just one more chance

    'cause I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for
    But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about

    You think you are complicated, deep mystery to all
    Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
    All energy no meaning, with a lot of words
    So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down

    And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about
    I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind

    So see you when you're 40, lost and all alone
    Being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
    Not sad because you lost me
    But sad because you thought it was cool to be sad

    You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd
    Well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out
    I wouldn't have picked you out
    I wouldn't have picked you out

    Now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time
    And I'll be on my way, and I won't be back
    'cause I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about
    You're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back
