What You Were Lyrics
[Intro]
Now it's easy for to see
Why people's life are so lonely
And you never understood
You never really could, you were wrong
[Chorus]
What you were, what you were
I couldn't say
'Cause you left me here behind
A stupid state of mind, and I'm lonely
[Hook]
Yeah, you left me here behind
A stupid state of mind, and you're gone
'Cause you left me here behind
A stupid state of mind, and you're gone
[Chorus]
What you were, what you were
I couldn't say
It took something hard like this
Mistaken to resist, and I'm lonely
Now it's easy for to see
Why people's life are so lonely
And you never understood
You never really could, you were wrong
[Chorus]
What you were, what you were
I couldn't say
'Cause you left me here behind
A stupid state of mind, and I'm lonely
[Hook]
Yeah, you left me here behind
A stupid state of mind, and you're gone
'Cause you left me here behind
A stupid state of mind, and you're gone
[Chorus]
What you were, what you were
I couldn't say
It took something hard like this
Mistaken to resist, and I'm lonely
