[Verse 1]
I had a plan, you'd had enough of working late
So I took my mothers car and the last money I saved
Blind to our tactless egos, the world was ours to take
We had it figured out, yeah we had it figured out
We were saved

[Verse 2]
You came from a good home
And a family that helped you through
Forever in the shadow of a brother you felt you could never live up to
And I watched you tailor yourself to satisfy the mood
I had you figured out, yeah I had you figured out

[Chorus]
But now you lie awake
And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
Well, you should have known that you would fuck it up some day
You try to wish your careless heart away
But it's not enough, it's not enough
You won't be saved

[Verse 3]
We grew apart and I had to leave for foreign shores
It seems that the plan I had worked out better than I thought
I swear you resented all the opportunities I had
So you filled that hole with women and alcohol

[Chorus]
But now you lie awake
And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
Well, you should have known that you would fuck it up some day
You try to wish your careless heart away
But it's not enough, it's not enough
You won't be saved
Oh, no no

[Bridge]
You're just a child in your father's eyes
Now you've a child of your own
Oh, oh how you've grown
[Chorus]
But now you're lying awake
And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
Well, you should have known that you would fuck it up some day
You try to wish your careless heart away
But it's not enough, no no no no no
You won't be saved
