I used to laugh it off
I used to look the other way
I used to save them troubles for another day

I kept my fingers crossed
I used to never take the blame
I'd pull a sunshine story in the pouring rain
The more I had to change, I just stayed the same
The same, the same, I stayed the same

You don't know what you've got, 'til you're missing it a lot
I had to go throw it away
I was wrong from the start
From the bottom of my heart, I apologize
What I did to you was hurtful
What I'm going through is hurtful

I used to buy my time
I used to beat around the bush
I'd rather give my ego another push

I used to be a fool
It was a foolish game I played
And it's a fool's faith, common mistakes I made
Once I had it right, it was all too late
Too late, too late, too little too late

You don't know what you've got, 'til you're missing it a lot
I had to go throw it away
I was wrong from the start
From the bottom of my heart, I apologize
What I did to you was hurtful
What I'm going through is hurtful
It is hurtful, it's hurtful

What I did to you
What I did to you

What I did to you was hurtful
What I'm going through is hurtful

I was wrong from the start
From the bottom of my heart, I apologize
What I did to you was hurtful
And what I'm going through is hurtful

    Correction for above...He wrote this after he got out of college and started writing songs and realized how much he learned with the guys he was writing songs with that he kind of cut out people from before to pursue his music and then consequently he missed out on a lot of things with his friends so he wrote this song about it.
