[Verse 1]
Ever been to a county fair
Where all the games are scams
Now apply what you know
To all the things you don't
Politics and business
Lost love, many friendships
Throw until your tendons tear
But those bottles stay weighted

[Chorus]
Goodwill then, hard stops
Slow learner, gets taught
My teachers tried, my teachers lost
(There were principals involved)

Mishandled, and robbed
They rubbed my feelings raw
But now I've put my glasses on

[Verse 2]
Brings it all into focus
Slow to hear, late to notice
But now I'm on a constant watch
Cynical not bitterness
Love my girl and friendships
I forgive all of life's hassles
From flat tires to thieving bosses
Overdrafts to cheating exes
But don't make me remember
If I don't have to

[Chorus]
Goodwill then, hard stops
Slow learner, gets taught
My teachers tried, my teachers lost
(There were principles involved)

Mishandled, and robbed
They rubbed my feelings raw
But now I've put my glasses on

[Outro]
Apologies
Are a wedding night fling
Sometimes it's best to exit quietly

Apologies
Doesn't quite wash it clean
'Sorry' is a sad and sorry thing
