Maybe I should have tried just a little bit harder
And I know I would have seen the truth
Maybe I should have known just a little bit better
Before I started talking to you
But I thought knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
But this time, you know I’m going to think things through
And next time I won’t be talking to you
At times I wonder why I worry all the time
It seems strange how I’m up then I’m down
But I know I’ll learn to lose these adolescent blues
And I’ll stay out painting the town
And I won’t be found
And I won’t be found
I won’t be found
Cause this time I’m gonna’ think things through
And next time I won’t be crawling back to you
Lately I’ve apologized just maybe one too many times
For staying closer when you wanted me afar
But I could hardly help it and surely one day you’ll see it
I didn't mean to amend who you are
But I thought knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
But this time, you know I’m going to think things through
And next time I won’t be apologizing to you
I thought I knew, I thought I knew
And when you’re looking for someone new
Just remember I wanted to be closer to you
