I wasted so much more than time

And the one with whom I was as one

Has now undone what came to be known as our love

Which could not contain all that which she'd become



I was flat out wrong

And with both hands on the days gone by

I gripped my eyes wide open

Because I can't sleep at night

The world is much too cold

Without someone there to hold me or to hold

That's the way it goes



And I always thought that I would die

If you ever told me goodbye

But it wasn't until tonight

Tonight, I found out I was right



I wasted almost all my life

Being so afraid to fail I hardly tried

I found a place to hide

I dove into you

I swam around, around inside



But I'm not the boy that you destroyed

I'm stronger than he was

I had to be to survive

I'm lucky to be alive

The me you left behind

Is still lying there

With his eyes froze open wide



And I always thought that I would die

If you ever told me goodbye

But it wasn't until tonight

Tonight, I found out I was right
