Intro

Verse

I knew from the first night I met you

Something just wasn't quite right

Looked like an innocent stranger

But something was just out of sight

How could I know that you would use me

Fill out some plan of your own

I couldn't know you'd abuse me

And leave me here hurt and alone

Chorus

If it wasn't for you I'd be happy

If it wasn't for lies you'd be true

I know that you could be just like you should

If it wasn't for bad you'd be good

Verse

I only saw what I wanted to see

You were a dream in my mind

I didn't know how you really could be

It didn't take long for me to find

I guess that it's my fault for seeing

Only what I wanted to see

I couldn't know you would be

A player just acting for me

Chorus

If it wasn't for you I'd be happy

If it wasn't for lies you'd be true

I know you could be just like you should

If it wasn't for bad you'd be good
