The Experience
Pretending you're always right is easier than apologizing. "I'll be the first
to say that I was wrong. Oh, I know I'm probably much too late…" It’s human to ignore your failures. It’s courageous to recognize them. "I should
have bought you flowers and held your hand…" It’s easy
to want people who make you sad to suffer like you do. It’s hard to want your
ex to be happy. "I hope he buys you flowers, I hope he holds your hand…" Bruno
passes all three tests. Do you?

Bruno’s as lonely and bitter as his half-glass of whiskey. But is the glass half-full or half-empty? Will he learn from his mistake or go down with the dregs?The Video

LYRICS
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It all just sounds like oooooh,
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh,
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like oooooh,
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
