My cards are on the table, yours are in your hands
Chances are tonight you've already got plans
And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again
You give me just enough attention
To keep my hopes too high
Wishful thoughts forget to mention
When something's really not right
And I will block out these voices of reason in my head
And the voices say, "You are not the exception
You will never learn your lesson, foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox
For confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
You will take the long way
You will take the long way down"
You know how to keep me waiting
I know how to act like I'm fine
Don't know what to call this situation
But I know I can't call you mine
And it's delicate, but I will do my best
To seem bulletproof
'Cause when my head is on your shoulder
It starts thinking you'll come around
And maybe someday when we're older
This is something we'll laugh about
Over coffee every morning
While you're watching the news
But then the voices say, "You are not the exception
You will never learn your lesson, foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox
For confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
You will take the long way
You will take the long way down
Foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox
For confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
You will have to learn the hard way
Instead of walking out"
Now I'm sliding down the wall with my head in my hands
Saying, "How could I not see the signs? "
Oh, you haven't written me or called
But goodbye screaming in the silence
And the voices in my head are telling me why
'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
I'll get your longing glances
But she'll get your ring
And you will say you had the best of intentions
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson
But then the voices say, "You are not the exception
You will never learn your lesson, foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox
For confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
You will take the long way
You will take the long way down
Foolish one
Stop checking your mailbox
For confessions of love that ain't never gonna come
You will have to learn the hard way
Instead of walking out"
Ain't never gonna come
Ooh, you will learn the hard way now
Foolish one
Sitting 'round waiting for confessions of love
They ain't never gonna come
And thinking he's the one, you should've been walking out
Foolish one
The day is gonna come
For your confessions of love
When all is said and done
He just wasn't the one, no
he just wasn't the one
