I've driven round round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen that I end up at yours
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance

'Cause I want tonight what I've been waiting for
But I've found tonight what I've been warned about

You think you are complicated deep mystery to all
Well it's taken me a while to see you're not so special
All energy, no meaning, with a lot of words
So paper thin, no one revealing could knock you down

And I've seen tonight what I've been warned about
I'm gonna leave tonight before I change my mind

So see you when you're forty, lost and all alone
Being comforted by strangers who never need to know
Not sad because you lost me, but sad because you thought
It was cool to be sad
You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd
If you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out

I wouldn't have picked you out

Now I've seen tonight how could I waste my time
And I'll be on my way and I won't be back
Cause I've seen tonight what I've been warned about
You're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back

And I'm not coming back

What I've been warned about
