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.
