I was on this path heading where I wanted to be
This thing called love blinded me so I couldn't see
An outside force came in and led me astray
The dreams I had, have all faded away

I put the mistakes I made on you
It seemed alright at the the time, but I knew
Conscience clean
Dirtied with time
Had to face the truth
Could not live the lie

I wish i could go back to that day
The things i would change
the words i would say
I thought at the time i was being smart
I am nothing now that we are apart
the feelings i'd have i couldn't have known
I cannot stand being here alone

I couldn't take the pain
but you weren't to blame
it was just a scheme
to pay for faded dreams
