Jermaine Riley - What Was I Thinking lyrics

rate me

I used to feel like I could take the clouds out of the sky

And make it so the sun could shine right through

Back when there was a me and you

Indestructible, felt like I was bulletproof and it showed

And all it took was for me to see your smile

Back when there was a you and I

Now I’m an empty shell of a man, weakened myself with regret

Every day I realize something is missing

And I can’t help but ask the question

What was I thinking?

Looking in the mirror asking myself, oh

Did I believe that I’d be better off without you?

What was I thinking?

Now I know that it was just my ego that had me believing

I’d be better off, that I’d be better off without you

But I was wrong, yeah, wrong

But I was wrong, yeah, wrong

But I was wrong, but I was wrong

Thinking I’d be better off without you

Alone again I’m wondering what did I sacrifice

Everything you are is walking out

After all the shouting I let go of the purpose in my life

Now I’m just tryina to what I can, put on a smile

Even though every day I realize something is missing

And I can’t help but ask the question

What was I thinking?

Looking in the mirror asking myself, oh

Did I believe that I’d be better off without you?

What was I thinking?

Now I know that it was just my ego that had me believing

I’d be better off, that I’d be better off without you

But I was wrong, yeah, wrong

But I was wrong, yeah, wrong

But I was wrong, but I was wrong

Thinking I’d be better off without you

And now there’s nobody else to blame, I gotta face the truth

And now ain’t no sense in being bitter

The man in the mirror is a fool

What was I thinking?

Looking in the mirror asking myself, oh

Did I believe that I’d be better off without you?

What was I thinking?

Now I know that it was just my ego that had me believing

I’d be better off, that I’d be better off without you

But I was wrong, yeah, wrong

But I was wrong, yeah, wrong

But I was wrong, but I was wrong

Thinking I’d be better off without you
