In a perfect world things would have been different
I wish it could have gone the way I planned
I put my heart into your hands cause I thought I could trust you
I thought I heard you say you'd never leave
I always stood by your side, I thought you'd do the same for me
And all the times I said I loved you, couldn't you hear my sincerity?
I always listened, you were always first to speak
I guess I should have listened when

This is how they said it would be
But when did all my friends become my enemies?
All this time I just wanted to believe
That I found someone who cared enough to see the best in me
But now I'm back to square one, scared to trust in anything
When I thought I was above you
I'm sorry if I made you feel that way
I'm sorry if I made you think that what we had was just a game
I always try to do the right thing
I always gave more than I would take
And now I'm staring in the mirror
Wondering if I'm the one to blame

This is how they said it would be
But when did all my friends become my enemies?
All this time I just wanted to believe
That I found someone who cared enough to see the best in me
But now I'm back to square one
This is how they said it would be
(Thought I knew you all along)
But when did all my friends become my enemies?
Somewhere deep down I still want to believe
(Can't you see where I belong?)
That I found someone who cared enough to see the best in me
But now I'm back to square one, scared to trust in anything

I wish you the best, my friend
And I pray success doesn't get the best of you in the end
I hope you know I'll always be here
I'd love you even if you chose to turn your back on me again
No I guess I should have listened when
This is how they said it would be
But when did all my friends become my enemies?
All this time I just wanted to believe
That I found someone who cared enough to see the best in me
But now I'm back to square one
This is how they said it would be

We're so busy taking sides
We forget to see the souls behind each others eyes
If love is patient, love is kind, then why did we run out of time?
I thought I found someone
Someone who cared enough to see the best in me
Now I'm back to square one, scared to trust in anything
