I Didn't Get Where I Am Today (2012 Remaster)

歌詞

Why did I listen to that music? It's made me feel so sad and brought it home to me once more I want what I cannot have When you can't get what you want you still have all the rest but isn't it sad to settle for second-best? I've been waiting at home for someone to phone I didn't get where I am today without living that old cliche I've been lying in bed the sheets over my head I didn't get where I am today without giving up in dismay Told everyone I'm over it I've quit this cul-de-sac But just when I thought I'd lost it for good that feeling comes right back When you can't get what you want you wear your bravest face but deep inside you're sinking without a trace I've been called repressed a poet, a pest I didn't get where I am today without getting in someone's way I live my life on a stage put it down on the page I didn't get where I am today without writing a resume I didn't get where I am today I didn't get where I am today I didn't get where I am today I've explored situations the themes and variations I didn't get where I am today without losing it on the way On the Street of Shame looking for someone to blame I didn't get where I am today without leaving in disarray I didn't get where I am today
