It just seemed like a good idea at that point in time,
Everyone I knew was real nice and I called them friends of mine,
We took pride in all the things that we didn't do,
And we had all the answers no one asked the questions to.

Yeah, it's funny how you see things retrospectively,
For years and years I was so blind, but now I sure can see,
It's not advice I'm needing, it's a gift of prophesy,
With the benefit of hindsight, those things were killing me.

Everything that I was doing seemed of benefit to me,
But those benefits were things that no one else could really see,
I turned into a person that I didn't want to be,
It looked like everything was needing nailed upon a tree.
