lyrics

I’ve Been There
(c) Eric Daum 2012

Everybody has some words of free advice
Before you make that cut you better measure twice
Compare your options to what you have today
Just consider the price you’ll have to pay.

I’ve seen defeat snatched from the jaws of victory
I’ve seen a dreadnaught flounder on a placid sea
I’ve spit out embers from a perfect love affair
I know I’ve been there

Hey, mian, I saw the way she looked at you
And if I caught her eye I’d go crazy too
Hell has no fury like a woman scorned
No sweeter sorrow than the love that’s mourned

I’ve seen defeat snatched from the jaws of victory
I’ve seen a dreadnaught flounder on a gentle sea
I’ve spit out embers from a perfect love affair
I know I’ve been there
