Song Description

A realization rant

Lyrics

I got 4 years wasted, 4 years gone, 4 years less for me to find
Someone who feels for me the way I feel for you
I got 4 years spent on hopeless dreams that have left me with nothing more than
4 long years of sleepless nights

I got 4 years of phone sex, unfulfilling every time.
3000 miles of disappointment
Well, at least the flight was free, or was it?
There?s always a cost and this one?s a bitch, my pride, self respect and dignity

I should?ve known all along, but no, not me
No, not silly, romantic, optimistic me
I should?ve seen who you really are but baby, I was so blind
You better check yourself and tell me what you see

I got 4 years of wanting gone down the drain.
Yeah, 4 years of comparing every man I meet to you.
What was I thinking? Or was I?
So much for my highly educated ass ever gettin? it right.

I should?ve known all along, but no not me
No, not silly, romantic, optimistic me
I should?ve seen who you really are but baby I was so blind
You better check yourself and tell me what you see.
Yeah, not silly, romantic, optimistic me
I should?ve known who you really are but baby I was so blind
Why don?t you check yourself and tell me what you see

Tell me, when you look in the mirror
What do you see
So much lost, not that you?d seem to know it or care to ask
As I lie next to you silently weeping, as you so peacefully snore
Right through one thousand four hundred thirty-nine days
One thousand four hundred thirty?nine nights give or take a few
3 shrinks, 2 towns, 4 apartments and one cat have all been witness to my miser,
Everybody, everybody

I should?ve known all along, but no not me
Not silly, romantic, optimistic me
I should?ve seen who you really are but baby I was so blind
I was so blind, but you know
I should?ve known all along, but no not me
Oh baby not silly, romantic, optimistic me
I should?ve seen who you really but baby I was so blind
You better check yourself and tell me what you see
