As My Old Man Always Said – Geoffroy

Loved you once
Loved you twice
Loved you three times what I should have
But to be real I’m lost without you

Fooled me once
Fooled me twice
You fueled my anger from the inside
You’re no fruit of no labor
A spice with no flavor to me

You still lie to your father
Still crawling all over me
Got caught up in our love
Woke up late again
But better late than dead
As my old man always said

And when all falls you keep walking straight
Go on and find a pace
For time will ease the pain
And add some wisdom to your name

And I’m a fool to believe that someday you will come to understand
How you used me on purpose
How did you dare to hold my hand

Pretty girls, pretty faces
But I’m too jaded to keep going
I’mma stay low at least for a while

Just to keep me from stepping out of line
Got caught up in our love
Woke up late again
But better late than dead
As my old man always said

Cause when all falls you keep walking straight
Go on and find a pace
For time will ease the pain
And add some wisdom to your name

Guess it’s all part of the story
Without love there’s no meaning
That’s how it is and will be
I better bide my time
Guess it’s all fun and games ’till
Another man has her smiling
It’s how it is and will be
I’ll find the silver lining

Yet I wonder about that silver lining
Yea I wonder about that silver lining
