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
