Hey, I've been around
I've seen it all
Love is a chain around your heart
That holds you down
You're better off
Runnin' away before it starts
I wanted to chase my dreams
I thought freedom meant everything

But hey, hey, what do I know
I'm just the lonely fool
That let you go
And now what do I do
Thought I could live without you
But what do I know

Look who I've become
I wanted it all
Oh, but it hasn't happened yet
Look, what I have done
I built a wall
In between me and happiness
I had the answers, I made the rules
And I thought I had nothin' to lose

But hey, hey, what do I know
I'm just the lonely fool
That let you go
And now what do I do
Thought I could live without you
But what do I know

I had the answers, I made the rules
And I thought I had nothing to lose

But hey, hey, what do I know
I'm just the lonely fool
That let you go
And now what do I do
Thought I could live without you
Without you
But what do I know

But what do I know
