That smooth talk and flattery
Yeah I guess it got to me
Shouldn't have dropped my guard
But I was swayed by all the energy
And got played by the fantasy
So the letdown was gonna be hard
Oh the letdown was coming
While my mind was just running
Yeah
First a slap on the back
And then a stab in the heart
Guess I should've seen the knife
Coming right from the start
Just a lonely bowling pin
Waiting for the wrecking ball
And you threw it down the lane
Without a single phone call
Yeah you did
But hey no regrets
You live and learn
Then go see what's next
Oh it set up so perfectly
Then you burned it down instantly
A card shark with an empty hand
I thought it was destiny
Till the ground that was under me
Went from solid to a sinking sand
Oh the letdown was coming
But my mind was still running
Yeah
First a slap on the back
And then a stab in the heart
Guess I should've seen the knife
Coming right from the start
Left me as a bowling pin
Waiting for the wrecking ball
And then quickly left the frame
Without a single phone call
Yeah you did
But hey no regrets
You live and learn
Then go see what's next
The ending it stays with me
But it's time now to set it free
Bitterness just brings you down
Sometimes you need to be
Reminded you're gonna see
Bright lights become a ghost town
Oh the letdown was stunning
But now I'm back in the running
Yeah first a slap on the back
And then a stab in the heart
Guess I should've seen the knife
Coming right from the start
Just a lonely bowling pin
Waiting for the wrecking ball
And you threw it down the lane
Without a single phone call
Yeah you did
But hey no regrets
You live and learn
Then go see what's next
You live and learn
Then go see what's next
Yeah you live and learn
And then go see what's next
Yeah you live and learn
And then go see what's next
