when i go to all the places we used to go
when i see all the people we used to know
they ask me why i look so sad i have to say
i got what i wanted but i lost what i had
without your love i’m such a lonely man that’s what i am
and there’s no one but myself to take the blame
because i once had your love and i treated you so bad
i got what i wanted but i lost what i had
since you’ve gone the bright lights are dim
the people don’t seem the same
they’re so used to seeing us together
oh but my how things have changed
i went searching not knowing what i’d find
i looked for something and i had it all the time
now to think i’ve treated you so bad makes me sad
i got what i wanted but i lost incomprehensible i had
i got what i wanted but i lost what i had
