Consequences
Where are you now?
What is the truth?
Did you walk out?
Are you confused?
I doubt it
You, you
Lost what you had
Just as you found it (uh)
No matter what you heard
The consequences you deserve
Did I ever give a damn about the pain?
Did I ever really care who was to blame?
I was waiting for the moment you would change
But that moment never came (oh, no, no)
You're gonna have to suffer (hey)
Consequences, consequences, consequences
You're gonna have to suffer
Consequences, consequences, consequences
Do you feel hurt
By what's been said?
You kept your word
But not your head
And I allowed it (oh)
You, you
Lost what you had
Just as you found it
You know you can't reverse (no, no)
The consequences you deserve (you deserve)
Did I ever give a damn about the pain?
Did I ever really care who was to blame? (Oh no)
I was waiting for the moment you would change
But that moment never came
You're gonna have to suffer
Consequences, consequences, consequences
No matter what you heard
Consequences you deserve
(Consequences, consequences)
Oh, no, no, no, no
No matter what you heard
The consequences you deserve
Did I ever give a damn about the pain?
Did I ever really care who was to blame?
I was waiting for the moment you would change
But that moment never came
You're gonna have to suffer
Consequences, consequences, consequences
(You could have avoided having to suffer these) consequences, consequences, consequences
You're gonna have to suffer
Consequences, consequences, consequences (yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Consequences, consequences, consequences (oh)
