Lyrics

How I Ended Up Like This

Well, I don?t know where I went wrong
But I don?t think I can mend
All the heartaches I have caused you
But you know I can?t pretend
That I don?t miss your hand in my hand
And your tender, lovin? kiss
I let you slip away
That?s how I ended up like this.

Chorus
That?s how I ended,
And there?s no one else to blame.
That?s how I ended,
I should have never played this game
That?s how I ended,
With regrets I can?t dismiss.
That?s how I ended,
That?s how I ended up like this.

Well, I went lookin? for somebody else
To soothe my achin? heart
But I didn?t really love her
And I knew I couldn?t start
To try to build a world without you
And forget that I still miss
The warmth of your embrace
That?s how I ended up like this.

Chorus

Musical Bridge

Well, the next time I?ll be smarter
And I won?t make the mistake
Of settlin? for second best
Or hopin? I can break
Down the tow?rin? walls of foolish pride
And hurtful stubbornness.
I won?t give my love in vain.
That?s how I ended up like this.

Chorus
