For Experience Sake

I’d give it up and start all over if I could
Chasing back the hands of time
Praise my intuition, knock on wood,
You could never change my mind.

Though I stop a lot and wonder
How the tables have been turned
I used to think I loved you
But I still can’t really say for sure.
I’m liable to be curious
Till the day I die.

For the best years of life with you
For all our mistakes
For the sweet love I hold on to
For experience sake.

Count my blessings put my heart upon a shelf
Once is more than enough
Who would have thought that I only hurt myself
I can only take so much.

Please don’t make me out an angel
‘Cause I feel so out of place,
I just haven’t got the patience
Like a hundred other hard luck cases
Looking for a handout
Or just one more kiss goodbye.

For the best years of life with you
For all that’s at stake
For the reasons I thought I knew
For experience sake

Though I stop a lot and wonder
How the tables have been turned
I used to think I loved you
But I still can’t really say for sure.
I’m liable to be curious
Till the day I die.

For the best years of life with you
For all our mistakes
For the sweet love I hold on to
For experience sake.
