I tried to be your friend and I tried to be your lover  
And at least now I can say I never lost you to another  
I lost you to myself, and that's a burden I must bear  
But such is life, and who said that life was fair?  
And though I'm down, it isn't like you even care  
But you'll find out further on, somewhere  

For all the talking that we do, there's so many things unspoken  
Like touchy subjects we avoid and the promises we've broken  
I won't apologize for the times I've broke your heart  
But I'll say this: we should've known it from the start  
You must own up to the things that were you part  
You'll realize it further on, somewhere  

Further on down the road, everything becomes clear  
The lonely miles remind you you're alone  
And burning bridges blinds you, and turning tables bruise  
The gain reminds you of the things you lose  

Like Bengal tigers in a cage, we strain to hurt each other  
Like some pathetic stand-up act, I make jokes about your mother 
I guess I'm just a clown, but the circus isn't funny  
I'm waiting for the rain, but it always comes out sunny  
And all my standard lines always seem to come out crummy  
I guess I'll learn further on, somewhere  

Further on down the road, everything becomes clear  
The lonely miles remind you you're alone  
And burning bridges blind you, and turning tables bruise  
The gain reminds you of the things you lose  

Further on down the road, everything becomes clear  
The lonely miles remind you you're alone  
And burning bridges blinds you, and turning tables bruise  
The gain reminds you of the things you lose…
