you're gonna wish

When I get used to disappointment I'll be sure to let you know
 When I figure out where the truth went that's where I'll go
 There's something so satisfying knowing you were right all along
 But when you lose everything you're gonna wish you were wrong
 You're gonna wish you had more of everything you have
 You're gonna wish you were ideal instead of a sham
 You end up with nothing - still you have to pay
 And pretty soon you're gonna wish you knew how to pray
 Well I've been through all of this so many times I can't believe
 It can still conquer me and make me grieve
 When what you want and what you are can never meet
 You're gonna wish you knew how - you knew how to dream
 You're gonna wish you had more of everything you have
 You're gonna wish you were ideal instead of a sham
 You end up with nothing - still you have to pay
 And pretty soon you're gonna wish you knew how to pray
 You're gonna wish for another wish for another wish
