Tommy Shaw: Lonely school [lyrics]

Tommy Shaw

Lonely school

I drove past where we used to live

You might have caught a glimpse of me

As I passed by

I swear it's still hard to believe

But at the time it seemed so clear to me

I thought I had it all worded out

I packed all that was dear to me

And I left without a doubt that I'd

Given it all I had to give

Still nothing moved nothing changed

Nothing lived

I did everything that I could do

But now I've had time to sort it out

To graduate from lonely school

And now I've got to let you know

It's me who was the fool

It was me baby I was wrong

But how can I say it

You must have known it all along

It was you who was always strong

And I've got to tell you now

I've got to show you how I've

Changed so many of my ways

I left the band, steadied my hand and learned a trade

And I'm coming back this time to stay

And you won't recognize the boy

Who graduated lonely school

'Cause I've become quite wise about

Who was or not the fool

It was me baby I was wrong

But how can I say it

You must have known it all along

It was you who was always strong

And I've got to tell you now

I've got to show you how I've...
