"Not all who wander are lost." - JRR Tolkien


[verse 1]
It's been months, and I'm still here
Tryin' to get over all the insecurity and fear
Maybe I acted like religion for a cure
When really, all I'm doing is tryin' to stay pure
It's too late for that now, too late for sorry
Too late for you to do anything for me

[chorus]
I should've known
I should've known
I guess you just couldn't love a girl like me

[verse 2]
Sometimes I think about how things could've been
I often wish, if only I had seen
Maybe I wouldn't be so lost, not been so scared
In some ways, I guess, my life was spared
But no, that doesn't keep me from remembering the good times
However, you could've at least left a warning sign

[chorus]

[bridge]
I realized why we could never last
Your mind was set on the future
I was still part of my past

[chorus - fade out]

The author's comments:
Hmmm... what inspired me to write this piece? Well, I was in a relationship with a guy that treated me like dirt, yet at the end of the relationship, I still thought I loved him. I dedicate this song to all the girls out there who have fallen in love with a jerk. Hang in there, girls!
