[Verse]
You never learned nothing from those days
Sipping on your riches, man, pissing it all away
I feel for you because you carry your own flame
But don't to them, please, don't give it all away

[Chorus]
I never thought I would end up a richer man
With you going to the back, and me holding her hand
You never thought love would come smack you on your face
Don't for them, please, don't give it all away

[Bridge]
And every time that I see conflict in the East
There's angry shadows in their minds, chasing us round the corner
And every time that I see a heart bleed
There's angry shadows in their minds, chasing us round the corner

[Chorus]
I never thought I would end up a richer man
With you going to the back, and me holding her hand
You never thought love would come smack you on your face
But don't to them, please, don't give it all away
