Juliana Hatfield - The fact remains

I stayed until the Star-Spangled Banner played
And I couldn't keep my eyes open
I stayed 'til the buds dried up and fell off on the table
And there was no hope of my saving them
'Til the last levee broke
And the floods came and washed away our home

Then it was over
And I will never be the same
I finally wised up but the fact remains
I stayed too long I stayed until the last of the bottles was empty
And whizzing by my head
I stayed 'til there was no more air in the room
and my tears no longer moved you
'Til you lied and you lied and you lied
And you lied and you lied again

Then it was over and I will never be the same
I finally wised up but the fact remains
I stayed too long

Next time maybe I will know
How to walk away
With pride and grace
And faith in myself
Knowing how the world works
And the way that things change
