Hindsight Lyrics by Buttons

Glimpse the Unthinkable

2015

Better part of me knew that I could never become
The better man I wanted to see
The other part of me, clinging to hope and hoping to faith
As though it mattered to me
But the faith that I had is the anchor attached
To the rope that I sewed that I held in my hand
Then it dragged me into the abyss that is this
I'm afraid that I may be in way over my head
I should've known better
I should've known better
They tell me everything happens for a reason
All I needed was to try and believe
I guess it never occurred to me a person behind the curtain
Could be pulling the strings
But the fact is, I asked them for help when I fell to my knees
And I begged and I pleaded, I needed a cure in the words
I'm alone and I'm hurt
And afraid that I may be in way over my head
I should've known better
I should've known better
I should've known better
I should've known, I should've known
Even if I ever cared a little bit, I couldn't admit it
It wasn't even a decision that I wanted to make
It was all a mistake, no one could ever consider me getting better
If I ever made an effort to change what I am
And god damn, what I am is a broken man
So I throw my hands up and stand
Thinking back a little with the should've-could've-would've
Like I should've went to college and I could've got a job
And then I would've put a little money in the bank
But the boat that I built was the boat that I sank
And it's gone
The choices I made are the reasons I love and the reasons I hate
And the reasons I do what I do, and I'm doing my best everyday
I should've known better
I should've known better
I should've known, I should've known
