Verse 1: It was so hard to build my identity And you took it all away And it took so long but you didn't care about anything I took one second to do away with Chorus: What about me What about the next guy How do you lead Such a miserable life And why do you cheat How come you always lie How ‘bout finishing Before you just say goodbye Verse 2: I’ve been alone so long that I’m comfortable I wouldn’t have it any other way So hard to trust now if you only knew what you did to me I can keep guys like you from happening Chorus: What about me What about the next guy How do you lead Such a miserable life And why do you cheat How come you always lie How ‘bout finishing Before you just say goodbye Bridge: In a way I guess I owe you a thank you ‘cause if it weren’t for you and your miserable ways would I have even pulled through Chorus: What about me What about the next guy How do you lead Such a miserable life And why do you cheat How come you always lie How ‘bout finishing Before you just say goodbye Chorus: What about me What about the next guy How do you lead Such a miserable life And why do you cheat How come you always lie How ‘bout finishing Before you just say goodbye

What I Did 03:11
Verse 1: I never thought that this would be in the cards for you and me I never gave it a second thought I’ve always known that it’s all my fault Hook: Ou what I did to me Ou what I did to us Ou tell me can’t you see Ou how I’ve fucked shit up Chorus: I’m gonna make it all up to you baby I’m gonna make things right again Verse 2: This life is not our destiny I’ve gotta be the one to set you free the ambition’s buried here deep within me I’m gonna show you who I know you can be Hook: Ou what I did to me Ou what I did to us Ou tell me can’t you see Ou how I’ve fucked shit up Chorus: I’m gonna make it all up to you baby I’m gonna make things right again Bridge You’ve got to understand I’ll show you the life we never had Chorus: I’m gonna make it all up to you baby I’m gonna make things right again Chorus: I’m gonna make it all up to you baby I’m gonna make things right again

Verse 1: I'm sitting here feeling like nobody’s listening It's what I'd feared I seem to make such bad decisions And now it's like I'm blotted out and I'm not with it Fight back my tears hopefully I'm somebody’s mission Chorus: So fix me up I'm here dying slow What the fuck I'm not strong enough Or put me down Just let my spirit go Guess I can see how I will die unknown Verse 2: I’m still right here but feeling like everyone’s moved on Don’t mean leer can’t help but wonder where you’ve gone ‘Cause now it’s like the world has seen too much of my bad side Fight back the urge to run away and hide just say ‘so long’ Chorus: So fix me up I'm here dying slow What the fuck I'm not strong enough Or put me down Just let my spirit go Guess I can see how I will die unknown Bridge: Where do I go now it’s too late to turn this shit around it feels fake to reinvent myself I just want to stand and scream and shout I think I’m going to Chorus: So fix me up I'm here dying slow What the fuck I'm not strong enough Or put me down Just let my spirit go Guess I can see how I will die unknown

Verse 1: Holding onto what’s left of you here in my head Because now that you’re gone I know that I’ll never ever get you back but the truth is you were gone the whole time when you were supposed to be mine Chorus: You got away Now it’s a new day And I am afraid I miss having you all to me Verse 2: Holding onto what’s left of you here in my heart and I know now that I never really ever had you at all from the start and you know you never treated me right Why am I not surprised Chorus: You got away Now it’s a new day And I am afraid I miss having you all to me Bridge: How did I even get this far knowing that you didn’t love me baby Chorus: You got away Now it’s a new day And I am afraid I miss having you all to me
