I was blind
Blinded by an innocence that vanished
Along with you
I won't deny
Your actions wounded me
When you were through with me
I couldn't accept the truth
Feel the salt sting in my open hands
The burn reminds me what I can withstand
And I can handle your backhand, though
I've just got to know
How did this happen to me?
I wanted to believe every word you said
But I'll just let it be
I'll let you go on pretending that you're dead
So the lesson I've learned
Who do we really know?
No one lets the truth be shown
We find out the hard way
You think a person's changed
But people don't change, they're always the same
You never know all along
They were that way
Though my disappointment shows I only wanna know
How did this happen to me?
I wanted to believe every word you said
But I'll just let it be
I'll let you go on pretending that you're dead
You may already be dead
I needed you
I needed you there
I needed you
You weren't there
How did this happen to me?
I wanted to believe every word you said
But I'll just let it be
I'll let you go on pretending that you're dead
How did this happen to me?
I wanted to believe every word you said
But I'll just let it be
I'll let you go on pretending that you're dead
You may already be dead
But I have the right to know
