Blind to the answers, find yourself,
Walk for the moment, find the reason in yourself,
There’s a reason, there’s  a reason for you and I,

There’s a reason, there’s a reason...

Take this time to find a meaning,
A reason to sit back and measure the worst 6 years of my life,
Waiting for your legs to close on my best friends,
Last night I saw your life flash before my eyes

I never meant to hurt you (but I did)
And I'm sorry that you cried so hard darling, (you won't be back)
I'll never hurt you again

Take this time to find your tongue,
A sorry excuse to stop your lies,
The best 30 seconds of my life,

My angel take your pills,
My angel I sold your ring,
And now your’re speechless,
And  I can't stop laughing,

Why did I laugh so hard baby? (you won't be back and I´m still laughing)
I never meant to hurt you (but I did)
And I'm sorry that you cried so hard darling, (you won't be back)
I'll never hurt you again,

(Chorus again)

I didn’t want it this way, I didn’t want it this way ...
I hope that you're happy where you are

And I'm glad to say I put you there, I put you there
Well who's the one who's laughing now,
I'm the one who's laughing now.

I hope that you're happy where you are
And I'm glad to say I put you there, I put you there.
