A Lesson

I entertain the idea Caught up like a movie trailer While you swirl your whiskey several times Make yourself feel like the conversation is going somewhere and you’re doing me a favor You’re a good person Nevertheless a lesson I take a pour to shut my mouth I’ve been racing like a thoroughbred I don’t care for drinking anyhow It makes me nervous to lose all self-control When I’ve worked hard to gain it I see you’re doing me a favor but I’m losing in the process Nevertheless a lesson Handwriting on the receipt only time I ever saw it Yeah, what about a card to me? Thought in vain, I’m feeling sorry I’m feeling sorry I’m feeling sorry Your generosity didn’t go unnoticed I just wish you were more than a lesson
