I called it from the very start Saw how fast it fell apart A stubborn, desperate partnership on life support Beg me not to tell you twice But disregard all my advice Hang your head in shame as the ones Who loved you turn away You’ve used up everyone’s sympathy And you’re leaving me no option Consider the possibility that it just wasn’t meant to be You're burnt out and your spirit's gone Now all I see is scared obligation And bitter reluctance Beg me not to tell you twice But disregard all my advice Hiding your broken home 'Cause you'd hate to hear: I told you so Go ahead, follow in your father’s footsteps Settle for failure if think you deserve it Go ahead, follow in your mother’s footsteps Hopes and dreams, squandered Like they’re totally worthless You’ve used up everyone’s sympathy And you’re leaving me no option Consider the possibility that it just wasn’t meant to be And now you’re wallowing in defeat With your broken dreams around you I won’t help pick up a single piece When you admit I was right all along
