What I Know Now

There are no angels Only patronizing saints Who would gladly keep you out of trouble But never let you forget That you came There are no favors There are no truly kind deeds It's just pay now and pay more later And we'll help you get what you need And when I find myself In times of trouble Usually give up nothing to win And nothing to lose I'll wish you luck There are no rules here Just piles of mistakes That we say we've learned from Then we go ahead and make Faith is a lazy way of trying To get what we want Without doing anything at all To help bring it along And when I find myself In times of trouble Usually give up nothing to win And nothing to lose I'll just wish you luck And did I want the freedom To be myself Or the freedom to fuck around Did I just want the freedom to fail Without bringing you down? I thought I loved you But now I know I was just confused And going through the emotions Until we were both Completely bruised I hope I'm happy because We both know I'm not kind I just keep kicking up my heels Without thinking of you Standing behind me And when I find myself In times of trouble I usually give up nothing to win And nothing to lose You know it just gets hard to choose And when I find myself In times of trouble Always just give up And I don't know what to tell you Well I know what I'd like to tell you I'd like to call you up and tell you What I know now What I know now What I know
