I didn't know.

I was such a fool.

And it took me a long time,

Just to find out,

That my head,

Is upside down.

What I was standing on,

You know, it wasn't too solid ground, oh no.

To satisfy, (Chorus: To satisfy)

What I thought I'd be, (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)

I kept on living, ooo, yeah, (Chorus: I kept on living)

In my own dreams. (Chorus: In my own dream)

And everyday, (Chorus: Everyday)

I grew blinder. (Chorus: Everday)

Thought I was so strong, (Chorus: So much stronger)

I didn't need nobody's help.

Oh, the strongest river, (Chorus: Oooo)

Can't flow up hill, wo, no.

To satisfy, (Chorus: To satisfy, oh yeah)

What I thought I'd be, oo, yeah (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)

I kept on living, (Chorus: I kept on living)

In my own dream. (Chorus: In my own dream)

You know, the tides of love, yeah

Are so strong.

You know, it carried me back

And showed me my wrong, yeah, ooo.

To satisfy (Chorus: To satisfy)

Yeah, what I thought I'd be (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)

I kept on living, oo, yeah (Chorus: I kept on living)

In my own dream. (Chorus: In my own dream)

Fading:

Now, everyday (Chorus: Everyday)

I grew blinder (Chorus: Everyday)

Thought I was strong (Chorus: So much stronger)

I didn't need nobody. (Chorus: Ooooo)

But the strongest river

Can't flow uphill, oh no

To satisfy, ooo (Chorus: To satisfy)

What I thought I'd be (Chorus: What I thought I'd be)
