To be a mistake, many come to learn
That's the way that it is, It's the way it'll be
But to learn that I was never wanted
Wanted to be free, free without me
I often tried to believe, that it was more than it was
That you had some feelings we shared, I just could never see
But from youth to adult, the proof repeats itself
That you wanted to be free, free without me
But the pain is the pain, such a very real thing
Reality of your absence comes and goes with a sting
Nothing I could ever do, many times I have tried
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
What could I do to change that mind
Maybe go outside together, time in the sunshine
Many years have passed, and I just realized
That's never happened even once, I can see, no longer blind
But the pain is the pain, such a very real thing
Reality of your absence comes and goes with a sting
Nothing I could ever do, many times I have tried
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
Pain of reality, just living inside
To be a mistake, many come to learn
That's the way that it is, It's the way it'll be
But to learn that I was never wanted
Wanted to be free, free without me
