Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If only I knew what I know
I'd make it a point to say so
To everyone that got me here
And everyone that made it
[Verse 2]
Clear I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That I would not lose my way
When I was astray
[Verse 3]
I'm doin' the best that I could
Tryin' my best to be understood
Maybe I'm changin' slowly
I'd get out, turn around, if only I
[Verse 4]
Knew I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That I would not lose my way
When I was dead wrong all along
[Verse 5]
Mine is not a new story
Mine is not a new story
[Verse 6]
Mine is nothing new
But it is for me
[Verse 7]
So I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That you thought I'd lost my way
When I was dead wrong all along
You said it for my sake
That I would not lose my way
[Verse 8]
Did I really lose my way?
Or are you afraid?
