Everybody knows that everybody's been burned And everyone's surprised Whenever it comes time for their turn You find that the heartache is hard to hide When it's so deep in your back It comes out the other side but Oooh... Sometimes you deserve it Oooh... but only if it hurts less Well alright, I guess I just had to learn What everybody's always known I felt strangely free As I got one last push From the place I'm supposed to be And it's a good thing It's a good thing And it's a good thing It's a good thing that I... Made a promise to a mirror long ago But it's nailed to a wall There's no way it could ever know But make a promise to a mirror That's a lot of bad luck And you're the one who decides When your time is up but Oooh... something shouts Oooh... but only it hurts less Well alright, I guess I just had to learn What everybody's always known I felt strangely free As I got one last push From the place I'm supposed to be And it's a good thing It's a good thing And it's a good thing It's a good thing that I... That I love being alone
