this isn't the way it's meant to be emotions got tangled together the feeling was new, it set me free but life with regret is forever took it all for granted but it's hard to go back again oceans of words turned into leaves falling and spreading the rumor I 've severed the end despite the means they're hinting that we have no future took it all for granted and I want to go back again now you look so stranded can't get you out of my head this isn't the way it's meant to be you weren't supposed to be without me it's what we lacked that set us free forgive, show mercy took it all for granted and I want to go back again now you look so stranded can't get you out of my head mercy me release me from my balladry so I can put these words to bed
