Lonely School Lyrics By Tommy Shaw

    i drove past where we used to live
    you might have caught a glimpse of me
    as i passed by
    i swear it’s still hard to believe

    but at the time it seemed so clear to me
    i thought i had it all worded out
    i packed all that was dear to me
    and i left without a doubt that i’d

    given it all i had to give
    still nothing moved nothing changed
    nothing lived
    i did everything that i could do

    but now i’ve had time to sort it out
    to graduate from lonely school
    and now i’ve got to let you know
    it’s me who was the fool

    it was me baby i was wrong
    but how can i say it
    you must have known it all along
    it was you who was always strong
    and i’ve got to tell you now
    i’ve got to show you how i’ve

    changed so many of my ways
    i left the band steadied my hand and learned a trade
    and i’m coming back this time to stay

    and you won’t recognize the boy
    who graduated lonely school
    ’cause i’ve become quite wise about
    who was or not the fool

    it was me baby i was wrong
    but how can i say it
    you must have known it all along
    it was you who was always strong
    and i’ve got to tell you now
    i’ve got to show you how i’ve
