Lyrics

I believed it was obvious
To everyone like it was to me
That on my solid word alone
I could make them all happy

I believed that persistence
Was the same thing as patience
Yet I was so surprised
When all of my friendships died

I’ve made so many mistakes
So many errors in calculating
The risks that one takes in loving

I’ve made so many mistakes
Overstepped so many boundaries
A scared a great many away by “loving”

I believed that they’d come around
Like dogs returning to spew
Disappearing without a sound
Deep down inside I thought they knew

My words would keep coming back
“You’ll see it my way, I’m sure”
I hold the keys to eternity
Your disease requires my cure

I’ve made so many mistakes
So many errors in calculating
The risks that one takes in loving

I’ve made so many mistakes
Overstepped so many boundaries
And scared a great many away by “loving”
