Well, he says that
He says he knows well
He should say
He should say that he knew
'Cause now I see it different
You could say that I've changed since
You'd think that he would too
'Cause I knew him before
He became a crashing bore
So I nod polite
'Cause I know he's there inside

Smile dull and satisfied
Frozen on his face
But look a little closer and his eyes are glazed
Telling everyone he's no one's fool
But there he is sitting on the same barstool

Well, he told me something that I didn't know
Oh, but now that was some years ago
Telling everyone he's no one's fool
But there he is sitting on the same barstool

You can curse it but it ain't so underhanded
Ain't no god up up above who could have planned it
And no devil below could have damned it
And no one on this earth can understand it
For what it's worth

You don't always get what you deserve
Bit it's actually kinda funny
'Cause sometimes I swear that you can see it coming
You don't always get what you wish for
But sometimes you get what you walk towards
And that's how you can see it coming
