Now I know, I lost you a long time ago I could have been So many things But it would never be enough for you I was the one You counted on But I was never the one for you If it was all a mistake Then I guess we're both to blame

So would you come back, would you come back to me So would you come back, you mean everything to me One, two, three, four Well, after all the times we met, you said I never was your man And though I tried hard to forget, I never quite could understand

Ain't a damn thing promised to ya Except livin your life, and dyin one day, I'm just bein honest to ya It take a whole lot, just to get a little Gettin caught up in the middle the answer to life's riddles never, come that easy, but it was easy to lead

Whispering silence The subtle contradiction Compromise creeps in Forgetting who I once was Slowly changing Who I once was It was never one thing And too many to try to add up All because I had taken pride in my hidden lies

There's a world out there Don't you deny me Give me one last wish Stop using my It was meant to be But all along it never meant a thing Never stopped to ask you why

I thought we would always be together The love we shared was gonna last forever Once I was your one and only Now here I sit, mister lonely He'll hold you tonight, but I won't What's he got that I don't The one thing I thought I'd never lose He's got you

Tearing me inside I wasn't promised a thing You keep mocking me But you will never again Before you know it, after you're gone Giving into what has got me Feeling claustrophobic, scarred Severed me from all emotion

We're always fixing something that was never broken We're on and off again like sobriety Get back together every time you're done throwing a fit So when you gonna quit Breaking up with me You say it's over, with a middle finger But then you're calling

Tearing me inside I wasn't promised a thing You keep mocking me But you will never again Before you know it, after you're gone Giving into what has got me Feeling claustrophobic, scarred Severed me from all emotion

You know she left me, my baby left me My baby even left me, never said goodbye My baby even left me, never said a word Yes, my baby left me, never said a word Was it something I done, something that she heard? But, I stand at my window, wring my hands
