My cards are on the table
Yours are in your hand
Chances are tonight you
ve already got plans
And chances are I will talk
myself to sleep again
You give me just
enough attention
To keep my hopes
too high
Wishful thoughts
forget to mention
When somethings really
not right
And I will block out these
voices of reason in my head
And the voices say
You are not the
exception
You will never learn your
lesson
Foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox
For confessions of love
that aint never gonna come
You will take the long
way
You will take the lon
g way down
You know how to keep
me waiting
I know how to act like
Im fine
Don't know what to
call this situation
But I know I cant
call you mine
And its delicate
But I will do my best to
seem bulletproof
Cause when my head is
on your shoulder
It starts thinking youll
come around
And maybe someday
when were older
This is something well
laugh about
Over coffee every morning
while youre watching the news
But then the voices say
You are not the exception
You will never learn
your lesson
Foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox
For confessions of love
that aint never gonna come
You will take the long way
You will take the long way down
Foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox
For confessions of love
that ain't never gonna come
You will learn the hard way
Instead of just walking out
Now Im sliding down the wall
With my head in my hands
Saying How could I
not see the signs
Oh you havent written
me or called
But goodbye screaming
in the silence
And the voices in my
head are telling me why
Cause you got her
on your arm
And me in the wings
Ill get your longing
glances
But she'll get your ring
And you will say you had t
he best of intentions
And maybe I will finally
learn my lesson
Foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox
For confessions of love that
aint never gonna come
You will take the long way
You will take the long
way down
Foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox
For confessions of love that
aint never gonna come
You will learn the hard way
Instead of just walking out
Aint never gonna come
Ooh you will learn the
hard way now
Foolish one
Sitting round waiting for
confessions of love
They aint never gonna
come
And thinking hes the one
You shouldve been
walking out
Foolish one
The day is gonna come
for your confessions of love
When all is said and done
He just wasnt the one
No he just wasnt the one
