Lyrics

When Will I Learn?

From The Velvet Ditch2019

Written by Isaac Holman, Laurie Vincent

Produced by Jolyon Thomas

Lyrics

When Will I Learn?

[Verse 1] Changing the scripts to past conversations to what I wish I'd said Inconsequential situations running around in my head Kicking myself 'cause it's all my own doing No one to blame but me Tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling is not where I want to be [Chorus] When will I learn to say no? When will I learn to say no? [Verse 2] Fuck's sake, I've done it again Before I knew it, it was eight a.m Sitting around at a stranger's house when I realise I don't know any of them Start my day with a panic attack on the Underground In the train stops inbetween the stops And the sweat drips and the, the penny drops [Chorus] When will I learn to say no? Probably never When will I learn to say no? Probably never When will I learn to say no? Probably never When will I learn to say no? Yeah, probably never [Outro] Ahh Ahh
