lyrics

You've woken up alone for as far back as you can remember
Your shirts are all faded and your shoes are worn
The apartment's a mess, the paint's peeling off of the walls
Your life is in shambles and you just watch it fall apart
But of course, you couldn't care less

Nothing's in your fridge at all, just condiments and alcohol
The phone rings but "no one's home"
And you break down silently to yourself
Wishing that there was someone else

Well, congratulations for letting all your aspirations pass you by
You're content with disappointment, yeah, you feel just fine
Congratulations, we had such high hopes for you, but you fooled us all
It's such a long way to fall, long way to fall
But don't worry, you're almost there

You sat by and watched as your friends matured and left you
Some got married and some had kids, while the others just outgrew you
And instead of wondering why or how you let this happen
You sulked and you moaned and complained
When it was you who was to blame
Oh, it was you who was to blame

So, congratulations for letting all your aspirations pass you by
You're content with disappointment, yeah, you feel just fine
Oh, congratulations, we had such high hopes for you, but you fooled us all
It's such a long way to fall, long way to fall
But don't worry, you're almost there
I said, don't worry, you're almost there

Congratulations for letting all your aspirations pass you by
You're content with disappointment, yeah, you feel just fine
Oh, congratulations, we had such high hopes for you, but you fooled us all
It's such a long way to fall, long way to fall
But don't worry, you're almost there
I said, don't worry, you're almost there
