Thought I Was
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
i'm not the way
i thought i was
it was starting to feel like the worst of times
i've got to choose sides
am i wicked? am i right?
or am i just reacting all the time?
i'm not the way
i thought i was.
i was starting to see all the worst in life.
i've got to lose sight
of their pompous, boring lies
i was starting to think i couldn't fight
i've got to fight!
just not in the way i once thought right.
