I figured all the years we shared were proof enough

To extend my hand and help you

I know that getting started can be rough

Enthused smile you seemed grateful

I felt real good about myself

That's until the day you showed me

You don't need anybody else



Why'd you have to go

And make me say these things about you

Why'd you have to turn around after all

That we've been through



I figured all the memories were proof enough

To maybe open your eyes

From the people you think hold your trust

Do you ever smile and find it shameful

Cause you don't know who you are

I am glad you never told me

You don't need anybody else



Why'd you have to go

And make me say these things about you

Why'd you have to turn around after all

That we've been through



What will you do

When there's no one to fall back on

I won't be there

I've learned my lesson

What will you do when there's no friends to fall back on

Because they've all been stepped on



Why'd you have to go

And make me say these things about you

Why'd you have to turn around after all

That we've been through
