Moral of the Story Lyrics

(Oh-oh, oh-oh) Ooh
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

So I never really knew you
God, I really tried to
Blindsided, addicted
Thought we could really do this
But really I was foolish
Hindsight, it's obvious

Talking with my lawyer
She said, "Where'd you find this guy?"
I said, "Young people fall in love"
"With the wrong people sometimes"

Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just in pain
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end, it's better for me
That's the moral of the story, babe
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

It's funny how a memory
Turns into a bad dream
When running wild turns volatile
It's not funny how it changes
Ended up like strangers
We burned down our paper house

Talking with your father
He said that you could be mine
But some people fall in love
With the wrong people sometimes

Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just in pain
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end, it's better for me
That's the moral of the story, babe
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

They say it's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
That could be a load of shit
But I just need to tell you all

Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just engaged
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end, it's better for me
That's the moral of the story

Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
You can think that you're in love
When you're really just in pain
Some mistakes get made
That's alright, that's okay
In the end, it's better for me
That's the moral of the story, babe

(Oh-oh, oh-oh) You can think that you're in love
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

What is the Meaning of Moral of the Story?

Ah, the classic tale of love gone awry, where Cupid clearly missed his mark! "Moral of the Story" spins a yarn about falling head over heels, only to realize you've tripped into a pit of emotional quicksand rather than into the arms of true love. The song cleverly uses a chat with a lawyer and a father as metaphoric bookends to the journey from infatuation to enlightenment. It's an anthem for anyone who's ever mistaken heartache for passion, teaching us that sometimes the best souvenirs from failed relationships are the lessons learned. So next time you think you're in love, maybe check again—are you just in pain? In any case, it’s all part of life's messy syllabus.
