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
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, I had you figured out
Now you lie awake,
And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
And you should have known that you would f * * * it up some day
And you try to wish your careless heart away
It's not enough, not enough
You won't be saved
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
You are just a child in your father's eyes
Now you've a child of your own
Oh,
Oh how you've grown
Now you lie awake,
And you curse the world for all of your mistakes
And you should have known that you would f * * * it up some day
And you try to wish your careless heart away
It's not enough,
You won't be saved
