Where Did it All Go Wrong

"Where did it all go wrong?"

I was thinking about the things you said today
and how you said them, you know in your own kind way
and then I thought about how I reached out and tried to grab
What I thought they all said that I would one day have
But I realized an awful thought
The prize in which I sought
was nothing more than smoke and mirrors
an illusion that will last for all my years

As I sit here now in my dismay
One question springs forth for most of the day
Where did it all go wrong?
Was I too much of a pest?
Where did it all go wrong?
Did I appear to be too much like the rest?
Where did it all go wrong?
Did I want too much?
Where did it all go wrong?
Was I simply out of touch?
Where did it all go wrong?
This question is why I am singing this song

And you smile at me now
Saying how witty, clever, and smart I am and yet somehow
The words just don't fill the hole in my heart
As a matter of fact they never have, not even from the start
So unless you truely mean what you say
Then get out of my way
and if not you can keep your smiles and your words
They don't mean anything to me, they don't help me towards
What I need to find, the place in my head where I can be at peace
Until then I am afraid the anguish will never cease

As I sit here now in my dismay
One question spring forth for most of the day
Where did it all go wrong?
Was I too much of a pest?
Where did it all go wrong?
Did I appear to be too much like the rest?
Where did it all go wrong?
Did I want too much?
Where did it all go wrong?
Was I simply out of touch?
Where did it all go wrong?
This question is why I am singing this song

Oh where did I go wrong?
Oh Lord where did I go wrong?
Oh Lord please let me know where did I go wrong?
