Lyrics
Never mind the face you put on
In front of me
Never mind the pain
That you've put me, through

And every little thing you say
And every little thing you do
'T makes me doubt all of this
What you waited for?

Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me

Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
In This life you gave away
Was meant for me

Forget about this trip that you've been on
Or so it seems
Never mind the lies that you told my tears

'Cause every little thing you said
And every little thing you did
't Made me doubt all of this
Is that what you waited for?

Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me

Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me

Yeah

Oh, was meant for me, yeah hey yeah hey
Oh, It was meant for me
Oh No Oh

Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me

Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me

(I don't know how I can face this pain)
Oh, was meant for me!
(I can't live inside so you can't see)
Yeah, it was meant for me!
Oh, no
(I don't think I can go on like this,
Cause it's not me)
