I, I guess
The only thing cheap to you was your friends
You can always make new friends
(Oh well, oh well) But when you sell them out will they be worth as much?
I, I guess
The only thing cheap to you was your friends
You can always make new friends
(Oh well, oh well) But when you sell them out will they be worth as much?

Now this bridge is ashes
It might as well have never been built
It might as well have never been built
And the river that it crossed
Looks like an ocean now
Looks like an ocean now

Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
Love to play the victim
You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
Was it all for nothing?
Keep it on wax

You're not the only one
Who's had to make sacrifices
We all had to make sacrifices
And time won't heal shit
When you've got your hands in my pockets
When you've got your hands

Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream
It won't change a goddamn thing (It don't change)
Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream (a goddamn thing)
Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream
It won't change a goddamn thing (It don't change)
Kick, Kick, Kick
Scream, Scream, Scream (a goddamn thing)

I, I guess
The only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess
The only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess
The only thing cheap to you is your friends
I guess
The only thing cheap to you is your friends

Oh, what a fucking shame
Oh, that you had to mess things up this bad

Times change and people change with them
Some people love to play the victim
Love to play the victim
You threw caution to the wind
Washed away these few last years for nothing
Was it all for nothing?

It's gone
It's gone
There's nothing left
Keep it on wax
It's gone
It's gone
There's nothing left
Keep it on wax

    shouldnt it be "THROW caution to the WIND" not "YOUR caution to the END" or "YOUR caution to the wind"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
