I created this thing in my mind
Looking at it now I don't see why
I threw away everything I had
And "greener pastures" is just a lie
I realize all these things now that it's too late
I guess that's part of the price I gotta pay
I betrayed myself when I betrayed you
I threw my life away
the day I turned my back on you

I turned and ran away
I turned and ran away from the truth
The truth in everything
Everything we used to do
I never had reason to doubt you
I loved everything about you
If I could just take it back I would
I threw my life away
The day I turned my back on you

Believing my own lies
I lost myself and I lost everythiing
If I could just take it back I would
I threw my life away
The day I turned my back on you
