Lyrics for I Was Once a Loyal Lover as interpreted by doda

I Was Once a Loyal Lover Lyrics
WIll I have learned so very little
When these bones are old and brittle?
I wait to talk when I should listen
And cloud mistakes with false revisions

All my friends are forward-thinking
Getting hitched and quitting drinking
And I can feel them pulling away
As I'm resigned to stay the same

And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"

I was once a loyal lover
Whose lips did never seek another's
But now each love's more like a match
A blinding spark that burns out fast

And they all conclude with the same sentence:
"I've never met someone more self-centered
Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like
Waiting for a bus to work"

And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me

If you deem it so
Just cut the cord and go
You'll be fine
There's plenty of hills to climb

You can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me

I love this song and the EP it's pretty straitforwar. About a man who can't seem to settle down or change.

oh man when i first heard the EP, i immediately fell in love with it. the song is pretty straight forward. someone who doesn't or can't settle with somebody. he knows it, and doesn't care about the effect it has on himself or his love interests.

This song.
This EP.
Awwwmahgod. I love it. Love it.
So yeah, you guys already got the meaning on this one.
I've gotta say the first verse is my favorite part. Especially the first 2 lines.
I don't know why, or anything.
