Didn't they say that I would make a mistake

Didn't they say you were gonna be trouble

People told me you were too much to take

I couldn't see it, I didn't wanna know

I let you in and you let me down

You messed me up and you turned my life around

left me feeling I had nowhere to go

I was alone, how was I to know that

You who would be there, when I needed somebody

You who would be there, the only one could help me

I had a picture of you in my mind

never knew it could be so wrong

Why'd it take me so long just to find

the friend that was there all along

Who'd believe that after all we've been through

I'd be able to put my trust in you

Goes to show you can't forgive and forget

looking back, I have no regrets 'cause

You who would be there, when I needed somebody

You who would be there, the only one could help me

I had a picture of you in my mind

Never knew it would be so wrong

Why'd it take me so long just to find

the friend that was there all along

You who would be there, when I needed somebody

You who would be there, the only one could help me

I had a picture of you in my mind

never knew it could be so wrong

Why'd it take me so long just to find

the friend that was there all along

I had a picture of you in my mind

never knew it could be so wrong

Why'd it take me so long just to find

the friend that was there all along

Had a picture of you in my mind (all along)

Never knew it could be so wrong (all along)

Why'd it take me so long just to find

Why'd it take me so long baby

Why'd it take me so long baby

the friend that was there all along

Had a picture of you in my mind (all along)

Why'd it take me so long baby
