lyrics

Thought I'd try to find another way into the world
Never even took a chance to see what came before
Never even though I'd realize
When I saw something there behind your eyes
Turn the lights out and throw in the towel, I know the score

I will always be the one
Who never turned to run
I will always be around forever more

I am not the bad guy that you thought
I am not the one that sold and bought
Every living moment or waking dream
You ever had that you gave away

Found another reason crashing down into my space
Took a moment and I turned around and found my grace
I didn't even have to second guess
I knew I'd do what I thought best
Any questions that you might have had won't pass the test

And I will always be the one
Who never turned to run
I will always be around forever more

I am not the bad guy that you thought
I am not the one that sold and bought
Every living moment or waking dream
You ever had that you gave away
I am not the bad guy that you need
To justify some kind of foolish greed
And if you took a moment to stop and think
Right to the brink of no return

Somewhere in the middle of it
You give up so much more
Every single pearl of wisdom
Dropping on the floor

I will always be the one
Who never turned to run
I will always be with you forever on

But I am not the bad guy that you thought
I am not the one that sold and bought
Every living moment or waking dream
You ever had that you gave away
