[Intro]

I was around when the bridge got burned

I take a lesson but I never learn

And I walk my way

And I don't look back

They say it's not that bad man

But I think I'm running out of ways to believe that

[Verse 1]

So I took apart my television

I'd come to think I need a bigger one

When I look back now

Had we lost our heads

You could tell I'm slipping backwards

By the way I could not understand what the man said

[Chorus]

You were never there

When I was a beaten broken person

Knocking at your door

I took you for a better friend

But I've been wrong before

[Verse 2]

I recommend what the old man said

You gotta do it if you wanna get ahead

But if you wanna get a heart you got to give yours to me

And I think I'm slipping backwards

So you can't tell me to be there if you won't be

[Chorus]

You were never there

When I was a beaten broken person

Knocking at your door

I took you for a better friend

But I've been wrong

No, I've been wrong before
