Lyrics

I've done a lot of silly things
I've found out just what trouble brings
You used to wear my silly ring
While I listened to my ears ring
I've done a lot of silly things

I used to think that I was cool
Break each and every single rule
Now all the rules are just the same
It's just a silly game
I used to do a lot of things

And when I fail, I will fail without you
And my mistakes I'll always answer to
And if I cared anymore
To see it like the truth
I've done a lot of silly things
And I know just what trouble brings
I've done a lot of silly things

I used to like the way you walk
You used to like the way I talk
I used to do a lot of things
I used to think that I could sing
I've done a lot of silly things

You used to like the way I move[d]
You used to think that I was smooth
And if I ever had a chance
I would ask you out again
I've done a lot of stupid things

And when I fail, I will fail without you
I've been let down so many times
No one to blame but myself
To keep from getting down
I've done a lot of stupid things
And I know just what trouble brings
I've done a lot of silly things

I've done a lot of silly things
Now I know just what trouble brings
You used to wear my silly ring
I've done a lot of stupid things
I've done a lot of silly things

But when I play, I will play without you
It's every man and woman for themselves
I feel I've learned the hard way
To put you before myself

I've done a lot of silly things
I've done a lot of stupid shit
I'm still trying to deal with it
