Back To Square One

(album: Matty Mullins - 2014)

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 because 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.
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.
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.
Now I'm back to square one, scared to trust in anything.
I never 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 tried to do the right thing.
I always gave more than I would take,
now I'm staring in the mirror wondering
if I'm the one to blame
And this is how they said it would be.
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.
Now I'm back to square one & this is how they said it would be
(I thought I knew you all along)
When did all my friends become my enemies?
All this time I just wanted to believe (somebody tell me where I went wrong)
that I found someone who cared enough to see the best in me.
Now I'm back to square one, scared to trust in anything.
I wish you the best my friend.
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.
I guess I should have listened when this is how they said it would be.
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.
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.
