So you think youre pretty cool
The exception to the rule
As the keeper of the fuel
You shouldve known
It wouldnt last you

And youre hardly getting wise
To the problems you surmise
As the lightning leaves your eyes
You shouldve known
It wouldnt last you

And the hours fly
As the demons play
And youre paralyzed

When did it begin?
When you started to give in
To the prickle of the pin
You shouldve known
It wouldnt last you

And you think you know the score
As you shut another door
You search around for more
You shouldve known
It wouldnt last you

Such a sad demise
For your saving grace
Now you realize...

Somehow everything will
Somehow everything will
Be a little different than you thought
Somehow everything will
Somehow everything will
Be a little different than you thought

The lights are fading low
The candle losing glow
And who are you to know
You shouldve known
It wouldnt last you

Now you lock yourself inside
And you do your best to hide
On a roller coaster ride
You shouldve known
It wouldnt last you

Somehow everything will
Somehow everything will
Be a little different than you thought
Somehow everything will
Somehow everything will
Be a little different than you thought
