Cautionary Tales Songtext
von Matt Boroff

I should′ve seen the headlights approaching
Yeah, I should've slammed on the brakes
I should′ve turned around without ever looking back
I guess I should've learned from my mistakes
I lost my shadow in red midnight
I lost my heart inside a hole
I lost all of my money on a sure thing
Along this crooked road


I could not think while I was driving
I could not dream when I was asleep
I could not give you convincing answers
To questions that always were so cheap
I did not smile when I was supposed to
I did not laugh at worn out jokes
I paid no attention to the warning signs
I did not bend until I broke

Cautionary tales, cautionary tales
My luck is running out of new ways to fail
Like a letter from god that got lost in the mail
I'm just out here looking for an exit

I never knew that time would betray me
I never knew a thing until it was gone
I thought i understood how to get it right
I never knew that I could be so wrong

Cautionary tales, cautionary tales
This highway is a blur of wayward tales
There′s nothing left to say after silence fails
I′m just out here looking for an exit
Looking for an exit, looking for an exit
Cautionary tales, cautionary tales
