"Clueless" lyrics

"Clueless"

I thought that I was in control
As if
Thought I was really on a roll
As if

I thought that I knew best
And never guessed
Which way the cards would fall
I really thought I knew it all
As if

I thought I'd help a friend in need
Yeah. Right
Thought I could nobly intercede
Not quite

And when it went awry
She found a guy
Who wasn't meant for her
At least, I never thought they were
As if

I thought he'd want someone who'd balance out his quirks
Someone who's smart enough to stand up to his smirks
Someone who'd help him take life way less seriously
I thought he'd want someone a little more like me

I've been clueless
So clueless
Simply clueless all along
I thought I knew
Just what to do
Then got it all so wrong
And I blew it
Can't undo it
And it could have been so great
Now, I see the clues, but it's too late

It's too late

I thought my path was crystal clear
As if
Thought I alone knew how to steer
As if

So, I got turned and tossed
And slightly lost
And wound up way off track
But will I let that set me back?
As if!

I thought I needed to be in the driver's seat
And that the journey had to feel all nice and neat
And every detail had to always fit just so
But, now, I think it's maybe time to let that go

Let that go
Let that go

I was clueless
So clueless
But, at last, I think I see
I have to deal
With what is real
Not what I think should be

More than clueless
It's hubris
And I'll tell you what that means!
I'm sorry
No ifs, buts or in-betweens

I was clueless
So clueless
But I think deep down I knew
The whole long list
Of clues I missed
Were leading me to you

I'm clueless
So foolish
Or at least I was before
I guess I'm not so clueless anymore
Thank God, I'm not so clueless anymore
