I thought that we were set for life,
Will be together man and wife,
But all the plans I made for us,
Have changed,
I thought I could decide for you,
Everything that we would do,
I wish I could have bit my tongue,
But I kept going on and on,

Words of wisdom,
Everyone offers me,
Words of wisdom,
Now I can see,
That it's easy on the outside,
To give an advice,
But now your gone,
And I can recognize,
What I put you through,
With those words of wisdom,
I gave to you

Everybody's telling me everybody's telling me,
It clearly wasn't meant to be,
But they don't know how much I hurt you,
I was wrong,
Now I realize that being wise so wise,
Doesn't always mean to criticise,
And by driving your love away,
I know now what not to say,

Words of wisdom,
Everyone offers me,
Words of wisdom,
Now I can see,
That it's easy on the outside,
To give an advice,
But now your gone,
And I can recognize,
What I put you through,
With those words of wisdom,
I gave to you

They tell me how life goes on,
And I gotta be strong,
But I don't wanna be looked upon,
As someone who really needs,
Words of wisdom,

Words of wisdom,
Everyone offers me,
Words of wisdom,
Now I can see,
That it's easy on the outside,
To give an advice,
But now your gone,
And I can recognize,
What I put you through,
With those words of wisdom,
I gave to you

I gave to you (words of wisdom),
I gave to you (words of wisdom),
I gave to you.
