The Bane of My Existence

Assuming I'll never learn
That the one that got away
Probably won't return
Still I feel the flame
Assuming I'll never learn

I tried to be unaware
Head down in the sand
Pretending I didn't care
If I fell into her plans
I tried to be unaware

Because it's a sad formula
It's the bane of my existence
It's the fruit of my persistence
Can't let it go

Yeah it's a quagmire
It's a crash of my creation
It's the source of my frustration
Can't let it go

I'm shouldering all the blame
But I won't shed the tears
It's killing me just the same
It's worse than it appears
I'm shouldering all the blame

Because it's a sad formula
It's the bane of my existence
It's the fruit of my persistence
Can't let it go

Yeah it's a quagmire
It's a crash of my creation
It's the source of my frustration
Can't let it go

You'll rue the day
That your life skidded into my lane
Sounds like something my mother might say
When somebody's been stringing her along

I can't erase
That time I was put in my place
Well maybe I'm reading that wrong
Yeah maybe I'm reading that wrong

Because it's a sad formula
It's the bane of my existence
It's the fruit of my persistence
Can't let it go

Yeah it's a quagmire
It's a crash of my creation
It's the source of my frustration
Can't let it go

It's the source of my frustration
Can't let it go

It's the source of my frustration
Can't let it go
