so you think your're pretty cool
the exception to the rule
as the keeper of the fuel
you should've known, it wouldn't last you
and you're hardly getting wise
to the problems you surmise
as the lightning leaves your eyes
you should've known, it wouldn't last you
and the hours fly
as the demons play
and you're paralysed
when did it begin
when you started to give in
to the prickle of the pin
you should've known, it wouldn't last you
and you think you know the score
as you shut another door
you search around for more
you should've known, it wouldn't last you
such a sad demise (such a sad demise)
for your saving grace (for your saving grace)
now you realize (now you realize)
somehow everything will
somehow everything will
be a little different than you thought
than you thought
somehow everything will
somehow everything will
be a little different than you thought
than you thought
such a sad demise (such a sad demise)
for your saving grace (for your saving grace)
now you realize (now you realize)
lights are fading low
the candle losing glow
and who are you to know
you should've known, it wouldn't last you
now you lock yourself inside
and you do your best to hide
on a roller-coaster ride
you should've known, it wouldn't last you
somehow everything will
somehow everything will
be a little different than you thought
than you thought
