The Fact Remains

I stayed until the Star Spangled Banner played 
And I couldn't keep my eyes open 
I stayed until the buds dried up 
an fell off on the table 
And there was no hope of I saving them 

Til the last levee broke 
and the floods came and washed away our hope 
Then it was over and I will never be the same 
I finally wised up but the fact remains 
I stayed too long 

I stayed until the last of the bottles was empty 
and wizzing by my head 
I stayed till there was no more air int he room 
And my tears never moved you 

Til you lied, and you lied, 
and you lied, and you lied, and you lied again. 
Then it was over and I will never be the same 
I finally wised but the fact remains 
I stayed too long 

Maybe next time I will know how to walk away 
With pride and grave and faith in myself 
Knowing how the world works 
and knwoing that things change 

Til you lied, and you lie, 
and you lied, and you lied, 
and you lied again (x2) 
Then it was over and I will never be the same 
I finally wised up but the fact remains 
I stayed too long (x2)
