you would think

you would think I'd learned my lesson
I've certainly paid a price
I've been the victor and the loser
I've been up and I've been down

but down never felt like this before
I don't remember this much hurt
I don't remember all this darkness
I don't remember all this fog

you would think I'd learned my lesson
you would think I could get it right
you would think I was scholar
you would think I wouldn't even try

and all this really means is
I haven't learned one damn thing
