I drove past where we used to live
You might have caught a glimpse of me as I passed by
I swear it's still hard to believeBut at the time it seemed so clear to me
I thought I had it all worked out
I packed all that was dear to me
I left without a doubt thatI'd given it all I had to give
Still nothing moved, nothing changed - nothing will
I did everything that I could doBut now I've had time to sort it out
And graduate from lonely school
And now I've got to let you know
It's me who was the foolIt was me, baby - I was wrong
But how can I say it?
You must have known it all along
It was you who was always strong
And I've got to tell you now
I've got to show you howI've changed so many of my ways
I left the band, steadied my hand, learned a trade
And I'm coming back this time to stayAnd you won't recognize the boy
Who graduated lonely school
'Cause I've become quite wise about
Who was or not the foolIt was me, baby - I was wrong
But how can I say it?
You must have known it all along
It was me, baby - I was wrong
And I've got to tell you now
I've got to show you how, ooh, ooh, oohAt the time, it seemed so clear to me
You know I had it all worked out
I packed all that was dear to me
And I left without a doubtIt was me, baby - I was wrong
But how can I say it?
You must have known it all along
It was you who was always strong
And I've got to tell you now
I've got to show you nowOh, oh, oh, oh
I couldn't say it
