Half of My Life Video (MV)

City lights, October skies
Were so much brighter in my eyes
Because I loved you
Because I loved you

My teenage heart
Was quick to break
You little boys
Don't know your strength
But I forgave you
I forgave you.

Well it's amazing how much growing up can change
But more amazing how much of yesterday remains

But you and I, we built it all
The roof, the floor and all four walls
Where did it go wrong
Was it ever right
Before I say my last goodbye
Better look me in the eye
What happened to the you I thought I knew
Whatever happened to half of my life?

You had me at your beck and call
I took your word, I took the fall
Because I loved you
You knew I loved you

I said that feeling's not allowed
The background noise, it got too loud
I should have known that you...
You would hear it too, and see right through me

Well it's amazing how you warned me way back then
How you feared who you'd become if you let the dark side win

But you and I, we built it all
The roof, the floor, and all four walls
When did it go wrong
Was it ever right
To shove it back into my face
Say I had to know my place and never ask for more
Tell me what, what was my place for half of my life?

"Just let it go," that's what they say
'cause they don't know me like you knew me
You knew my memory
Would circle this old roundabout
Forever "stuck in a moment that I can't get out of"
That's what you meant to do
And you're still "the demon I cling to"

It's amazing how much growing up doesn't change

But you and I, we had it all
And this is where the curtain falls
Where did I go wrong
In thinking we were right
Somewhere I had to draw the line
And try to take back what was mine
But you got my yesterdays, always
Yeah you still walked away with half of my life

City lights, October skies
Will never be as bright
As when I loved you
