I thought that we were set for life

We’d be together man and wife

But all the plans I made for us have changed

I thought I could decide for you

Everything that we would do

I wish I could've bit my tongue

But I kept going on and on



Words of wisdom

Everyone offers me

Words of wisdom

Now I can see that it’s easy on the outside to give out advice

And now you’re gone I can recognise

What I put you through

With those words of wisdom

I gave to you



Everybody’s telling me (Everybody's telling me)

It clearly wasn’t meant to be

But they don’t know how much I hurt you

I was wrong

Now I realise I’m being wise (So wise)

Doesn't always mean to critisice

And by driving your love away

I know now what not to say



Words of wisdom

Everyone offers me

Words of wisdom

Now I can see that it’s easy on the outside

Then to give out advise

And now you’re gone I can recognise

What I put you through

With those words of wisdom

I gave to you



They tell me how life goes on

And I gotta be strong

But I don’t wanna be looked upon

As someone who really needs...



Words of wisdom

Everyone offers me

Words of wisdom

Now I can see that it’s easy on the outside

Then to give out advise

And now you’re gone I can recognise

What I put you through

With those words of wisdom

I gave to you



I gave to you

(Words of wisdom)

I gave to you

(Words of wisdom)

I gave to you
