I used to feel like I could take the clouds out of the sky
|
And make it so the sun could shine right through
|
Back when there was a me and you
|
Indestructible, felt like I was bulletproof and it showed
|
And all it took was for me to see your smile
|
Back when there was a you and I
|
Now I'm an empty shell of a man, weakened myself with regret
|
Every day I realize something is missing
|
And I can't help but ask the question
|
|
What was I thinking?
|
Looking in the mirror asking myself, oh
|
Did I believe that I'd be better off without you?
|
What was I thinking?
|
Now I know that it was just my ego that had me believing
|
I'd be better off, that I'd be better off without you
|
But I was wrong, yeah, wrong
|
But I was wrong, yeah, wrong
|
But I was wrong, but I was wrong
|
Thinking I'd be better off without you
|
|
Alone again I'm wondering what did I sacrifice
|
Everything you are is walking out
|
After all the shouting I let go of the purpose in my life
|
Now I'm just tryina to what I can, put on a smile
|
Even though every day I realize something is missing
|
And I can't help but ask the question
|
|
What was I thinking?
|
Looking in the mirror asking myself, oh
|
Did I believe that I'd be better off without you?
|
What was I thinking?
|
Now I know that it was just my ego that had me believing
|
I'd be better off, that I'd be better off without you
|
But I was wrong, yeah, wrong
|
But I was wrong, yeah, wrong
|
But I was wrong, but I was wrong
|
Thinking I'd be better off without you
|
|
And now there's nobody else to blame, I gotta face the truth
|
And now ain't no sense in being bitter
|
The man in the mirror is a fool
|
|
What was I thinking?
|
Looking in the mirror asking myself, oh
|
Did I believe that I'd be better off without you?
|
What was I thinking?
|
Now I know that it was just my ego that had me believing
|
I'd be better off, that I'd be better off without you
|
But I was wrong, yeah, wrong
|
But I was wrong, yeah, wrong
|
But I was wrong, but I was wrong
|
Thinking I'd be better off without you
