There's no joy without the pain
It's the pain that makes us strong
But sometimes it's just so hard to carry on
When you said that you don't care
When you say that you'll be there
Well, I wonder just how did things go so wrong

With everything we've had
(Oh please tell me)
And you know it's just so sad
But who's to blame?

I was mistaken
So who are you I thought I knew
I guess I was mistaken
(But I only wanted you)
I was mistaken
So say goodbye don't tell me why
I guess I was mistaken

I know I can't run to you again
'Cuz you would only run away
I guess there's nothing I can do to make you stay
You said that you would never leave
A lie you told and I believed
And now you want to go and throw this all away

So what is happening here?
(Oh please tell me)
It's exactly as I feared
You're just the same, and

I was mistaken
So who are you I thought I knew
I guess I was mistaken
(But I only wanted you)
I was mistaken
So say goodbye don't tell me why
I guess I was mistaken

As I blame myself again wondering what I did
You tell me that you still might care for me
You say you're just confused but that's really no excuse
You don't get sympathy 'cause I don't need this mind trip
I must be myself, must free myself from you
And all you put me through

I was mistaken
So who are you I thought I knew
I guess I was mistaken
(But I only wanted you)
I was mistaken
So say goodbye don't tell me why
I guess I was mistaken
('Cuz I only wanted you)
