The Fact Remains Lyrics

I stayed until the Star Spangled Banner played
And I couldn't keep my eyes open
I stayed till the buds dried up and fell off on the table
And there was no hope of my saving them
Till the last levee broke and the floods came and washed away our home

Then it was over and I will never be the same
I finally wised up but the fact remains
I stayed too long

I stayed till the last of the bottles was empty
And whizzing by my head
I stayed till there was no more air in the room
And my tears no longer moved you
Till you lied and you lied
And you lied and you lied and you lied again

Then it was over and I will never be the same I finally wised up but the fact remains
I stayed too long, I stayed too long

Next time maybe I will know how to walk away
With pride and grace and faith in myself
Knowing how the world works and the way that things change

Till you lied and you lied
And you lied and you lied and you lied again
Till you lied and you lied
And you lied and you lied and you lied again

Then it was over and I will never be the same
I finally wised up but the fact remains
I stayed too long

Then it was over and I will never be the same
I finally wised up but the fact remains
I stayed too long, I stayed too long
