Didn't they say that I would make a mistake
Didn't they say you were gonna be trouble
People told me you were too much to take
I couldn't see it  I didn't want to know
I let you in  and you let me down
You messed me up and you turned my life around

You left me feeling I had nowhere to go
I was alone  how was I to know that

You'd be there  when I needed somebody
You'd be there  the only one who could help me

I had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
The friend that was there all along

Who'd believe that after all we've been through
I'd be able to put my trust in you
Goes to show you can forgive and forget
Looking back I have no regrets 'cause
You'd be there, when I needed somebody
You'd be there, the only one who could help me

I had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find?
The friend that was there all along

You'd be there, when I needed somebody
You'd be there, the only one who could help me

I had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
The friend that was there all along

I had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
The friend that was there all along

I had a picture of you in my mind
Never knew it could be so wrong
Why'd it take me so long just to find
