Genius (Never Came Through) Lyrics
Clearly I'm a genius
If she only knew it
but somewhere in her radius
I really blew it
I know, I know what i said
and I know what I did
What I don't know is how I could ever be
so incredibly stupid
You don't really need to know every last detail
It's hardly worth telling
Suffice to say I said that I would be there
but I never came through
Maybe I'm a genius and
she just don't see it
I fronted.
I should have admitted
she saw right through it
I never thought that I could be
so underhanded
For this act of genius
and so many others
I know I should apologize
and see how it goes
what am I waiting for?
come on, come on, come on, come on
Sha la la la la la sha la la la la la la la
to all the geniuses....
You don't really need to know every last detail
It's hardly worth telling
Suffice to say I said that I would be there
but I never came through
If she only knew it
but somewhere in her radius
I really blew it
I know, I know what i said
and I know what I did
What I don't know is how I could ever be
so incredibly stupid
It's hardly worth telling
Suffice to say I said that I would be there
but I never came through
she just don't see it
I fronted.
I should have admitted
she saw right through it
I never thought that I could be
so underhanded
and so many others
I know I should apologize
and see how it goes
come on, come on, come on, come on
It's hardly worth telling
Suffice to say I said that I would be there
but I never came through
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
this song is about me not being able to do anything intelligent infront of the opposite. once again an artist has captured the rath of my stupid mouth in a song
My Ex boyfriend used this song once as his away message after he cheated and I dumped his ass. Anyway, it fits really well, so if you need an apology song, these are fitting lyrics.
"You don't really need to know every last detail It's hardly worth telling Suffice to say I said that I would be there but I never came through"
There's also a john mayer song called "my stupid mouth"
great song. duncan is very underappreciated. the lyrics posted arent exactly correct.
the fifth line should say... "I know, I know what i said TO HER"
at the end of the second verse, this line needs to be added... "somehow I've cornered the market on, the double standard"
and after that verse it goes back to... "You don't really need to know every last detail It's hardly worth telling Suffice to say I said that I would be there but I never came through"
then it goes to "For this act of genius..."
and before the last chorus, just to get really really picky, he says... "to all OF the geniuses"
this is a great song.
