When I get used to disappointment I'll be sure to let you know
When I figure out where the truth went that's where I'll go
There's something so satisfying knowing you were right all along
But when you lose everything you're gonna wish you were wrong

You're gonna wish you had more of everything you have
You're gonna wish you were ideal instead of a sham
You end up with nothing - still you have to pay
And pretty soon you're gonna wish you knew how to pray

Well I've been through all of this so many times I can't believe
It can still conquer me and make me grieve
When what you want and what you are can never meet
You're gonna wish you knew how - you knew how to dream

You're gonna wish you had more of everything you have
You're gonna wish you were ideal instead of a sham
You end up with nothing - still you have to pay
And pretty soon you're gonna wish you knew how to pray

You're gonna wish for another wish for another wish
