Differently Lyrics

I saw myself differently

Everything stripped from me

Nobody wanting me

Not even you

You tipped the can

I struck a match

Now you're never coming back

But I know better than that

And I think she does too

Because there's no replacing me

There's no reclaiming me

Once you've been loved by me

No forgetting what's true

I saw the dark side of you

I loved it in spite of you

I found your sweet side too

And put it to use

Everybody told me

You got to love yourself

They all told me

Go find somebody else

But from the bottom of your own private hell

It's not so easy to do

I saw myself differently

I walked and talked timidly

I tiptoed down my own street

Hiding from the truth

If you ever did right by me

Then lose your hindsight of me

Because what I did to cut us free

I did it without you

Everybody told me there was nothing there

They all told me I was a fool to care

But it's not for the man who left her standing there

It's that old version of me

I've come to set her free

Now I see things differently
