Lyrics

I can;t close my eyes tonight,
Sleep would be such a pacifier
I need some pink pepto-bismol I guess

My Mother always knew what was best
Always there to hold my hand
She never gave me second best
My Mother always knew - Why didn't I?

Remembering all the times we had
Why did I think they were all so good
I always gave 95% - While you took & you took

Like a child that wants to touch the fire
I was told not to take desire, but
I didn't listen, boy did I get burnt
Well, My Mother always knew - Why didn't I?
(Lead Guitar)

I always thought that you knew what was best, but
You weren't there to hold my hand, you
Always gave me second best
Well I guess you always knew - why didn't I?

Wish I had just 1 more chance
You say it's happening everywhere
I never thought you let it happen to me
I never thought I could feel this despair
I never thought you'd let it happen to me
I never thought I could feel such despair

You say we're different & we've grown apart
You hate yourself & you hate my friends
It's my career that's always throwing darts
You gotta live your life & start to begin
Well, YOU CAN TAKE IT - You can go your way
I never, ever had you anyway
I'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna begin
I guess you always knew
Just like my Mother always knew
I guess i always knew......
From the start....
