Lyrics

Find Out On Your Own

V1: I asked all the right questions
You gave the right replies
When time came for commitment
All you gave were your goodbyes
You left me feeling helpless
I was such a fool
You weren't trying to be selfish
You weren't trying to be cruel

Cho: You had to find out, find out on your own
You had to find out how little you'd known
Oh, yeah, I told you so but no
You had to find it and do it alone

V2: I didn't think to ask
And you didn't volunteer
About the doubt that shut me out
Year after lonely year
It came as such a shock
That I'm still lifting from the low
I thought I knew you then
But again I didn't know

Cho: I had to find out, find out on my own
I had to find out how little I'd known
Oh, yeah, I told you so but no
You had find it and do it alone

Bridge: You had to find the life that is right for you
Not somebody's idea of what they think you should do
But as I watched you go my heart sunk low 'cause I didn't know
If I'd ever see you again

V3: Now you're standing here before me
Saying you made a big mistake
I hate to have to hear it
I took all I'm gonna take
Baby, when you set me free
I got my wings and soared
You forced me to begin a life
I might have just ignored

Cho: We had to find out, find out on our own
We had to find out, find out how little we'd known
Oh, yeah, I thought I knew but no
I had to find out, find out, find out on my own
Just like you had to find out, find out how little you'd known
Oh, yeah, I told you so but no
You had to find out on your own
