"Should've Learned By Now" lyrics

"Should've Learned By Now"

Well, half of what runs through my head
Is bullshit I sell to myself
And the other half ain't well thought out
I really should've learned by now

Middle of the night, I'm here again
Desolation's favorite friend
I'm a faithful friend

It's too late now, ain't no good reasons
Bad ideas is all I'm thinking
Could do this sober but it seems like cheating
Really should've learned by now
By now

Well, sometimes love don't mean a thing
Some alcoholics are low functioning
Sometimes the show's a drunken mess
You really should've learned I guess

Middle of the night, I'm here again
Desolation's favorite friend
Yeah, I'm a faithful friend

It's too late now, ain't no good reasons
Bad ideas is all I'm thinking
Could do this sober but it seems like cheating
Really should've learned by now
By now

It was there in the dark days
But I lost it in the light
Now I'm out here alone
Just me and the devil in the middle of the night

Middle of the night, I'm here again
Desolation's favorite friend
And I'm a faithful friend

It's too late now, ain't no good reasons
Bad ideas is all I'm thinking
Could do this sober but it seems like cheating
Really should've learned by now

It's too late now, ain't no good reasons
Bad ideas is all I'm thinking
Could do this sober but it seems like cheating
Really should've learned by now
