Guess you never knew life after all
'Cause when you hear the truth you feel so small
You played the fool and now you've lost it all
 
Set me free
Now let me go home
Let me be, let me be on my own
 
You don't care much about me anyhow
It won't matter to you now, in the end
You never were my friend and I
I never really knew you not all these years
We sort of played a little game together
All this time, you weren't mine
 
We learned to kid ourselves
Yet making it look so fine
We've stayed together so long
Wondering why, wondering why, why
 
Guess you never knew life after all
'Cause when you hear the truth you feel so small
You played the fool and now you've lost it all
 
Set me free
Now let me go home
Let me be, let me be on my own
 
And I, I never really knew you not all these years
We sort of played a little game together
All this time, you weren't mine
 
We learned to kid ourselves
Yet making it look so fine
We've stayed together so long
Wondering why, wondering why, why
