Lyrics
I know, I know I can't complain
I acknowledge that I shouldn't complain.
And it doesn't help when you've only got yourself to blame
Self-blame is unhelpful, especially when there's no one else to blame.
I don't know what got into me
I'm uncertain about what influenced my actions.
But I don't expect that I'll get any sympathy
Despite my situation, I don't anticipate receiving sympathy.
I hate it that I got what I wanted cause I don't want it anymore
I regret achieving my desired outcome because I no longer desire it.
And I hate to say you told, but you told me once before
I reluctantly admit that you warned me about this previously.
2x
Repetition for emphasis.
You know it's never quite enough
Even when I attain something, it's never satisfying.
and I don't know what it was that I was thinking of
I'm unsure about what my original expectations were.
You know, no matter what I try
Regardless of my efforts, nothing seems to fulfill me.
It just doesn't ever really seem to satisfy
Despite my attempts, satisfaction remains elusive.
Chorus (Refrain).
I hate that I got what I wanted cause I don't want it anymore
Expressing regret for obtaining what was desired because the desire has changed.
And I hate to say you told me but you told me once before
Acknowledging previous warnings about the undesirability of the achieved goal.
2x
Repetition for emphasis.
You told me once before
Reiteration of being warned previously.
You told me once before
-You told me once before
