Mistakes Were Made Lyrics

Let's not argue the facts
We all know the facts, you'd been overly taxed
You were bound to discover
With your hand on your axe and your back to your lover
And the high esteem I held for you notwithstanding
These things still ring true to me
Someday I'll see it completely
When I gain my second sight
If I told you I'm sorry, if I told you the truth
That I knew you were lonely, oh, what good would it do?

So let's not say how it feels
We know how it feels
I was hung by my heels for the sport and the art of it
And despite my appeals, you don't want any part of it
If you were half as much an actor as an overanxious hustler
We might get over this disaster instead of living in the bus stop
Your walking pension wrote some detrimental note
You work him by remote on two D batteries
You're dying to impress the undergraduates
So when I've had enough of this, there's something under me
