Lyrics

[00:28.55] All the love in the world couldn't save you
[00:34.15] All the innocence inside
[00:40.47] You know I tried so hard to make you
[00:46.10] To make you change your mind
[00:48.51]
[00:51.23] And it hurts too much to see you
[00:56.66] And how you left yourself behind
[01:02.17] You know I didn't want to be you
[01:08.38] Now there's a hell I can't describe
[01:10.77]
[01:12.03] So now I wander through my day
[01:16.42] Trying to find my way
[01:18.45] Still these feelings that I felt
[01:21.35] I said to you and no one else
[01:23.82] And no it's not going to change
[01:26.04] I know it's gone, still I'm used
[01:29.53] And that's nice to hang on someone
[01:31.61] A little change that's bittersweet
[01:34.18] That's called the blues
[01:37.15]
[01:49.74] Don't know just what I should do
[01:55.46] Everywhere I go I see you
[02:01.04] You know it's what you planned, this much is true
[02:07.61] What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore
[02:15.88]
[03:01.94] I don't know just what I should do
[03:06.29] Everywhere I go I see you
[03:11.88] You know it's what you planned, this much is true
[03:17.75] What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore
[03:29.71]
[03:51.63] What this means to me
[03:53.58] The more I know you believe
[03:57.54] What I thought was you now
[04:00.20] Has got more that it changed on you
[04:02.06] What I thought was true
[04:04.18] The more that I might know is you
[04:08.43] What I thought was you
[04:10.19] Is only memories, distant
[04:13.66]
