These Things Happen

I got your letter

It ain't easy on the eyes

I know it's written out, but I had to read between the lines

I'm doing better

I no longer sympathize

I'm young enough to hope for better, but old enough to know what's deemed fine

He can do anything, and his friends will say that these things happen sometimes

Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me twice, he's a victim too

He can say anything

And men, they will say people make mistakes sometimes

If I draw a line, it's a line to cross

I read the scripture

I learned the hard way

You mean what you think, you don't mean what you say

You aren't smarter

You just know who lacks the strength to say no

Or the muscle to let you go

You hold her in the palm of your hand only because you can

So

He can do anything, and his friends will say that these things happen sometimes

Being young, he makes mistakes

They say she's old enough to understand

He can say anything

And men, they will say people make mistakes sometimes

Being young she made a mistake

But he was old enough to know better

And if I'm being honest

He could've done anything

And I would've said that these things happen

He buried me alive with lies, I didn't have the strength to say no

He could've said anything

And I would've said people make mistakes

I was blinded

I couldn't see

But that's on me

You can do anything

And they will say that these things happen

I guess that these things happen
