I was down on my luck,
Like the world was pulled from under me,
So take a seat and listen up,
It's time I told you everything and I've got a lot to say
I wish you could see me now, because I'm doing it for myself,
But you never believed in me so you left for someone else,
And I swore I'd hate you forever, yeah I kept it all inside,
Then I wrote it down on paper so the world would know the whole story tonight
It's funny how you think you know someone,
After all you've been through together,
Then they act like a stranger,
I guess that's how it goes but I just wanna say,
That you don't know what you've been missing
I wish you could see me now, because I'm doing it for myself,
But you never believed in me so you left for someone else,
And I swore I'd hate you forever, yeah I kept it all inside,
Then I wrote it down on paper so the world would know the whole story tonight
(All I wanted was somebody to listen)
The whole story tonight
(All I wanted was somebody to listen)
I wrote it down on paper so the world would know the whole story tonight
(All I wanted was somebody to listen)
The whole story tonight
(All I wanted was somebody to listen)
I wrote it down on paper so the world would know
I wish you could see me now, because I'm doing it for myself,
But you never believed in me so you left for someone else,
And I swore I'd hate you forever, yeah I kept it all inside,
Then I wrote it down on paper so the world would know the whole story tonight
(All I wanted was somebody to listen)
The whole story tonight
(All I wanted was somebody to listen)
The whole story tonight
(All I wanted was somebody to listen)
I did it for myself.
