Afterthought

well you'd think i'd learn
from repeated mistakes i
think i even told myself "girl,
remember this" but
i think i just forgot
in the daze of it all
completely convinced it'd be different
this time around

yea that
intoxication is dangerous
when things are at stake
and i seem to forget virtue
whenever i'm in this state and i
think i've said it all before
but just as an afterthought:
maybe i should learn to converse
next time around
next time around
next time around
next time around
