I stayed until the star spangled banner played and i couldn't keep my eyes open i stayed till the buds dried up and fell off on the table and there was no hope of my saving them till the last levee broke and the floods came and washed away our home then it was over and i will never be the same i finally wised up but the fact remains i stayed too long i stayed till the last of the bottles was empty and whizzing by my head i stayed till there was no more air in the room and my tears no longer moved you till you lied and you lied and you lied and you lied and you lied again then it was over and i will never be the same i finally wised up but the fact remains i stayed too long, i stayed too long next time maybe i will know how to walk away with pride and grace and faith in myself knowing how the world works and the way that things change till you lied and you lied and you lied and you lied and you lied again till you lied and you lied and you lied and you lied and you lied again then it was over and i will never be the same i finally wised up but the fact remains i stayed too long then it was over and i will never be the same i finally wised up but the fact remains i stayed too long, i stayed too long lyricwiki
