Who knew it'd be so easy
To lose yourself completely forever
Stuck in your old ways
I saw you in the limelight
Your flaws had turned to blind eye
Cause you swore you'd always be okay
But you keep hurting yourself
And you just can't see
You put out your fires with gasoline
But it pours on me
And i'm tired of the mess you leave
If i knew that through the years
You'd be falling
I would say goodbye to you darling
So i'd never have to face
The hollow shell you masquerade
And if i knew the words that you told me
Covered up until you've been holding
I would learn to let you go
Before i traveled down this road
Now all i have is ignorance to play
But i guess that was my mistake
Trapped by your limitations of right potential
Wasted on fantasies you live to chase
You say that nobody else will understand
Pushing away when you get the chance
And i'm the last to say
But i just can't watch as you fade away
If i knew that through the years
You'd be falling
I would say goodbye to you darling
No i'd never have to face
The hollow show your masquerade
And if i knew the words that you told me
Covered up with tears you've been holding
I would learn to let you go
Before i traveled down this road
Now all i have is ignorance to blame
But i guess
That was my mistake
And i hope you find the missing pieces
And love yourself without a reason
Cause right now we're just in a losing game
Whoa
And i'm sorry that i couldn't save you
From all your self inflicted danger
I wish you the best but it's too late
If i knew
That through the years you'd be falling
I would say goodbye to you darling
So i'd never feel the pain of touching us
Go down the drain
I wish i knew the words that you told me
Covered up the truth
You've been holding in a heart
That won't let go
Of everything it's always known
I foolishly believed one day you'd change
But i guess that was love my mistake
My mistake
My mistake
Oh
I should have seen the coming chance to make
My mistake
My mistake
My mistake
Oh i should've seen it coming
I should've seen it coming
Who knew it'd be so easy
To lose yourself completely
Forever
Stuck in your own ways
