What I Know Now

There are no angels
 Only patronizing saints
 Who would gladly keep you out of trouble
 But never let you forget
 That you came
 There are no favors
 There are no truly kind deeds
 It's just pay now and pay more later
 And we'll help you get what you need
 And when I find myself
 In times of trouble
 Usually give up nothing to win
 And nothing to lose
 I'll wish you luck
 There are no rules here
 Just piles of mistakes
 That we say we've learned from
 Then we go ahead and make
 Faith is a lazy way of trying
 To get what we want
 Without doing anything at all
 To help bring it along
 And when I find myself
 In times of trouble
 Usually give up nothing to win
 And nothing to lose
 I'll just wish you luck
 And did I want the freedom
 To be myself
 Or the freedom to fuck around
 Did I just want the freedom to fail
 Without bringing you down?
 I thought I loved you
 But now I know
 I was just confused
 And going through the emotions
 Until we were both
 Completely bruised
 I hope I'm happy because
 We both know I'm not kind
 I just keep kicking up my heels
 Without thinking of you
 Standing behind me
 And when I find myself
 In times of trouble
 I usually give up nothing to win
 And nothing to lose
 You know it just gets hard to choose
 And when I find myself
 In times of trouble
 Always just give up
 And I don't know what to tell you
 Well I know what I'd like to tell you
 I'd like to call you up and tell you
 What I know now
 What I know now
 What I know
